Will traffic police fine for black film on the car roof?
2 Answers
Applying black film on the car roof will not result in a traffic police fine as long as the area covered does not exceed 30%. Here is some relevant information about car window films: 1. Functions: Mainly to block ultraviolet rays, reduce heat, prevent injuries caused by flying glass, and reduce glare. Additionally, the one-way visibility feature of the film helps protect personal privacy. It also minimizes damage to interior items and passengers from UV exposure, lowers the car's interior temperature through physical reflection, reduces the use of air conditioning, thereby decreasing fuel consumption and saving costs. 2. Film structure: Anti-scratch layer, PET safety base layer, metal heat insulation layer, composite adhesive, UV absorption layer, transparent PET safety base layer, installation adhesive, high-transparency PET release film.
I usually pay close attention to the appearance of my car when driving. I've specifically looked into whether black roof wraps can result in fines. According to regulations, if the wrap covers no more than 30% of the vehicle's surface and doesn't alter the original registered color, no declaration is required. The roof area typically accounts for about 20% of the total surface area, so in theory, it complies. However, enforcement standards vary by local traffic police—last year, a neighbor was fined 200 yuan for applying a glossy black roof wrap that reflected too much light. Opting for a matte wrap is safer to avoid mirror-like effects that could impair other drivers' visibility. Daily maintenance is also important, as bubbles or damaged wraps are more likely to attract inspections.
