Episode Synopsis

Effective September 1, 2025, Barbados' new **Road Traffic (Amendment) Act** will implement strict Visible Light Transmission (VLT) limits for vehicle windows: **70% for windscreens, 20% for front side windows, and 25% for rear windows**, while explicitly prohibiting metallic and mirrored tints. These regulations, primarily driven by concerns for **police officer safety and crime prevention**, will be enforced administratively with an initial fine of $500 for non-compliance and an additional $10 per day for persistent violations.
