The Ministry of Transport has announced that it will be releasing new
regulations regarding the use of window films for cars next month.

According to Deputy Transport Minister Chen Yen-po, the rules are being
implemented due concerns about the lack of mandatory standards for window
tinting.

Speaking at a legislative hearing, Chen said said the use of window film has
raised safety concerns and the Highway Bureau has drafted guidelines based on
road conditions and public safety needs.

Chen told lawmakers transparency standards will be incorporated into the
regulations and they will apply to both new and existing vehicles.

The deputy transport minister went on to say that enforcement of the rules
for new vehicles will begin next year and there will be penalties for car
owners who fail to adhere to the new guidelines.
