One of my neighbours is a traffic warden, i wonder if he knows the new law, i must check his windscreen when he comes home, i heard about this about a week ago and thought it was a joke or something, better get mine removed, dont you just love this country, you never know whats coming next,, and i agree with all the previous comments,....haha love it...

Really am scratching my head on this one. So, let's see it this way, exactly where on the front windscreen are they placed so that they obscure the sight of the driver? The last I know of they were placed on the opposite side of the driver and either in the top corner or lower corner. That's where I got mine, that's where I've seen all road tax & vehicle MOT's placed.

Maybe it's to waste Police time to check for our details whilst we look under a ton of rubbish or cd's in our car? Is this the best our semi-comunist goverment can come up with?

There are far more serious problems on this island than that with regards to driving. Why don't we start with a lack of police, the ever increasing amount of people driving & talking on their mobiles whilst holding up trafic, the no. of cars with illegal exhausts on them, the ever increasing rush of the Cypriot barging in & almost causing an accident, the non observence of the yellow crossed boxes (which we're meant to keep it clear) or my favourite still, especialy in Paralimni, the red light is on & yet 3,4,5 or even 6 cars pass it to turn into the direction cutting off the trafic which has the green light.

This is what they should really be worried about, not the lame excuse of being an obstruction to the drivers sight.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Now I'm worried.

What next? I don't have any kids... will I soon be made to borrow one or two to stand up unrestrained and bounce around between the front seats as this seems to also be compulsary.

With regards to the banning of objects in windscreens which obscure the drivers view.........lets hope this also includes Mummy or Daddy popping little precious namely their children up on the dash board to watch the world go by. Surely it is this type of barbaric act which should be dealt with before an innocent child is hurt??

But dont just blame this wonderfull island.
Surley its just another example of this planet going completely barking????

Without Music, life would be a mistake.

I can't see that it will make any difference to those who don't get their car's taxed.

So many vehicles are driven here which have no number plates at all, one assumes they haven't yet got tax, insurance or changed ownership. Do they ever get stopped by the police? Makes you wonder...

Great idea, now what about tinted Dark screens ?????
Hope they catch all the morons who are talkig on their mobiles whist driving, also Dogs in the front seats....sheer Madness and no enforcement...Cameras staff will have a "Field day" as we just pray the law is enforced as it is Madness o the roads in cyprus

It is my guess that they are preparing for the introduction of the speed cameras. They want to have a clear view of the driver and passenger to see who is not weraing a seat belt, and if the driver is using his mobile, after all, the more offences they can hit you with, the more money they can take from you in the way of fines. Quite cunning really when you think about it... They will also want to see who your passenger is, perhaps not your wife, but someone else's wife??? (From another village)

A very lame excuse in my opinion in respect to road safety and helping to cut down on accidents.

I can't think of any other country that demands having a road tax disc taken off the windscreen. However, this is Cyprus!!!

My wife was stoped in a routine check for seat belts and tax discs
