Kohima police Monday reminded vehicle owners that use black films of any percentile Visual Light Transmission (VLT) upon safety glass, windscreens, front and rear side glass of any four wheel vehicles and also the fitment/fitting of crash guards/bull bars, loud horns (boosters), coloured red and blue flashers/lights on windscreens or on vehicles was in contravention of Section 52 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1989.
The Act prohibits alteration/modifications/retrofitting of vehicles except those originally specified by vehicle manufacturer.
