Dark Tinted School Buses Under Fire | Johannesburg News
Description
School transport vehicles are getting a serious crackdown after a minibus taxi packed with 36 kids was caught with illegal tint—so dark you couldn’t see inside. The driver faced a $2,000 fine for tint violations and lack of proper licensing. Authorities are stepping up enforcement because dark windows not only hide dangerous overloading but also impair driver vision and hinder police and first responders. Law requires side windows to let in at least 35% light and windshields 70%. Parents are urged to check if they can see inside during the day, if the ride is overcrowded, and if the driver appears competent. Violations lead to demerit points and possible license suspension—so stay vigilant and report unsafe vehicles.
