Quote:Private motorists with tinted windows will no longer have to drive in fear of being impounded for breaking a traffic offence.
This is after High Court judge George Odunga on Friday quashed Inspector General of Police David Kimaiyo’s May 13 directive that motorists with tinted windows be arrested.
Justice Odunga had temporarily stopped Kimaiyo’s directive on May 20 and granted a reprieve to private motorists, but said the order was illegal, irrational and a procedural impropriety.
“Whoever deals with regulations must fully understand the law and have a legal basis so as not to act with unreasonableness or unfairly, contrary to this is an illegality, irrationationality and a procedural impropriety,” he said.
Quote:Traffic rules 1953 at Rule 54A states that ‘a person shall not drive or operate a PSV that is fitted with tinted windows or tinted windscreen’.
