hi folks
just heard there is 16 new penalty points coming in 2012
one concerns a distorted windscreen ,can some one explain what that means
 
Going back to the tinting, tinted windows reduce already limited visibility at night and in poor weather. It makes sense that there is a legal limit and it is enforced?
 
Topic reminder: Cars & Motoring >

If possible please keep to the topic of the sixteen new penalty point categories, what they mean and how they will be enforced.

Specifically what does "distorted windescreen" mean? Is is tinted windows, or perhaps its mist on the inside or frost/ snow on the outside or perhaps its damaged windscreens or faulty "fun fair mirror" glass in the screen?
 
It seems to me that its the "fun fair mirrror" defective glass they are aiming at. The following thread from Oz? suggests that such glass while rare in the OEM market can occur in the Replacement market.

Drivers dont notice it and some report causing nausia and dizzyness.



 
They said on the radio that it was tinted windscreens, those not made of safety glass or windscreens were a logo or the like obscured a large proportion of the windscreen. So basically it is going after the boy racers.
