No. French regulations under Arrêté du 18 juillet 1995 and Code de la route Article R316-3 prohibit window tint exceeding 30% light transmission (VLT) for front side windows and windshields. A 15% VLT tint violates these limits, risking fines up to €135 and mandatory removal.
Key Regulations for 15% Window Tint in France
- Front side windows and windshields: Must maintain ≥70% VLT (≤30% tint). 15% VLT fails this threshold.
- Rear side windows and rear windshield: Permitted ≥30% VLT, but 15% remains illegal unless exempt (e.g., medical waivers under Arrêté du 20 avril 2012).
- Medical exemptions: Require pre-approval from Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés (ANTS) with a physician’s certificate. Generic claims are insufficient.
Note: From 2026, Sécurité Routière plans stricter enforcement via automated ANPR systems targeting non-compliant vehicles.
