I've noticed a lot of blue tinted front windscreens on cars - are they legal and a new fashion ?

I've had an AUTOMATC driving licence for 20 years. If I take get a MANUAL licence now, will I be considered a NEW driver on my licence?

You mean like a deep sunstrip?
Not legal if completely tinted over tinted glass.

About every third car I pass has the blue windscreen, coated with UVA (like sunglasses) reflection.

Are you wearing blue sunglasses yourself?

If as you say 33.3% of cars have it, it must be legal, I have never seen one though.

Its a UV/Heat reflective layer that is becoming more prevalent on moderns cars either as an optional extra or as standard fit. Don't think its noticable from inside.
