I am about to have my full driving test soon and I was wondering if tinted cars are allowed for practical tests? The thing is it has 35% tint in the front two windows and abit darker tint for the back windows. Will this be a problem for me with the testing officer?

The law states that VLT (visual light transmittance) must not be below 35%, so if your windows are darker than that, your car is illegal, so this is likely to be a problem, plus of course, the vehicle does not meet WOF requirements.
