im just curious if yall have ever driven with a tinted windshield before. I thought exactly the same thing that youve all said. It seems kinda dangerous and it will be really dark when its nighttime. All of my windows are 15% with the front done in 35% I really can see fine at night when Im driving. Its definately not like putting on a pair of sunglasses and driving at night (thats way darker). If you cant see everything out of my windshield while driving at night then you dont need to be on the road anyway. I just had to flash my high beems at a car with their lights off the other night! As for the guy that has the friend that killed somebody, that really sucks, but i honestly dont think it was the windshields fault. I have glanced down before to look at the radio in my moms car like for a split second and bam!! a deer ran in front of me and smashed my moms car. That could have easily been a human and i would have been screwed. Anything can happen at any moment in time because of any reason. So dont ever look down at your radio while driving the car, (good thing for those controls on the steering wheel) but other than that, having your front windshield tinted isnt a stupid idea, you can see out of it just fine and it makes the car look a lot better too!

[QUOTE=ISyouinyet;2716587]longQUOTE]i feel kind of the same way. what is worse, someone with 35% front and 50% windshield or someone with limo all around except windshield. I would think it would be more dangerous to drive in the limo'd car than the one with the windshield tinted so it's all relative to who is driving and the individual to determine whether they can operate their vehicle with a tinted windshield. Smoking is a bad idea, doesn't mean people can't do it.

[QUOTE=Julez;2717932]Putting a gun to your head a pulling the trigger is also a bad idea. So what's your point --that doing one dangerous thing means it's OK to do another?

if you seriously think that the accident was caused solely because of the tint..you my friend, are the one who is immature. I understand that you are trying to be a good person by taking the law into our own hands..but trust me we will live without you there to protect this country...thanks though

I am sure there were other factors involved which caused the accident. But the fact of the matter is the drive said he did not see it coming
puts the blame more on the windshield tinting rather than anything else. Note, he did not say he was distracted while he was smoking or talking on the phone or doing something else that prevented him to see. He simple plain, did not see. People should not be driving with tinted windshield. Period. There is a good reason why there is a law against it. Do not bet your future by doing it.

Look guys thing is, if you hit someone even if its not your fault, theres a thing called LIABILITY. All it takes is a smart lawyer to say, 'he has tint on the front windshild, thus imparing his vision', BOOOM now your the one at fault. Sure it looks nice, sure it keeps the heat out, sure you can still see out even at nite BUT is that really worth being liable in an accident? To me, its not worth it.

If u wanna get to the point of saying its against the law. U can say speeding will get u introuble. driving with no seatbelt. talking of the phone. all things u shouldn't do but im sure 95% of us do one of these things.

Also some of us have legal documents to be excempt from the law. Or at least i do.

I think a lot of ppl here are concerned because the word "tint" alone means it will get significantly darker. I got 70% on my windshield and nobody knows I've got it tinted..it's all bout moderation. The stuff I got put onto my windshield gives me real good protection from the sun and it's nearly clear. Got pulled over 2xs for not having front plates, but never got anything for the windshield or my front 2.

OP I feel your pain. I live in the Inland Empire - Corona- to be exact. I use the A/C and use shades.
But I will never tint my windshield for safety reason. Just like what most said ..... it's illegal and dangerous.
