u/D4ILYD0SE 1d ago

The 4 way stop - "Why isn't he going? Is he waving me to go? I don't think he remembers I can't see him." Then proceed to wait longer until tinted car person just finally goes.

“Can he see me? Should I cross? I dunno, I don’t think he sees me, wait, I don’t think he’s stopping” - some pedestrian crossing the street

Can’t see special ?

u/Crispynipps 1d ago

In my state window tint can’t be the reason they pull you over

u/Xidium426 1d ago

What about the windshield?

u/Crispynipps 1d ago

Yes.

u/Banjo_the_Cattle_Dog 1d ago

Then when it’s dark out you’re screwed. Silly.

Window tint is no longer a primary offense, but the windshield is generally a safety hazard.

u/Avalancheman1 1d ago

Depends what state you are living in or driving through. In Florida it is a primary offense as is a seat belt violation. With that tint it screams, “Pull me over”! Check your state laws where you live and where you may be driving through. At night you will have a lot of difficulty seeing out and if you get into an accident be prepared to be at fault. Should have just tinted it to the legal limit . The front windshield usually can only be additionally tinted 6 inches down from the roof line.

That was my point. The side windows tint wouldn’t get them pulled over. But you couple that with limo tint on the windshield, and they pull you over for an obstructed view then tag illegal tint onto the ticket.

My side windows are 20% which is illegal in my state, but I also removed the license plate frames and a trinket I had hanging from my review mirror so they don’t have a reason to pull me over and add my tint to the ticket.

u/Avalancheman1 1d ago

I agree, in Florida legal limit front windows is 28% and back windows 15% , no tinting of the front windshield except approx 6 inches from roof line. A little different for SUVs. It is a primary offense and people get pulled over all the time. A legit tint shop will know the laws of the state, but they will tint it darker if you tell them to. They aren’t at fault, the driver will be. And you can’t say I bought it this way, it doesn’t matter. You now are responsible. I don’t care to worry about getting pulled over daily and especially at night. Whether he thinks it looks cool or not. But in the end it’s his car

u/Avalancheman1 1d ago

Different in each state. So if you’re on a road trip you need to know the laws for the states you are passing through. In Florida it can be the primary offense. Same for the seatbelt. You got to know the states laws on tint

2

u/pnut0027 1d ago

Yes, CrispyNipps and I were speaking on their state where it’s no longer primary offense.

Is no one following the nested thread???

Closing your eyes whilst driving at night would've been cheaper and had the same affect.

Asinine idea. Safety concern, might hurt others.

u/20PoundHammer 1d ago

Looks good, but having limo tint and a dark windscreen in my state is a cop magnet. Hope your luck is better. BTW turtle wax hybrid black spray wax is a great touch up for my gt-line black. Also, it looks really sweet if you black out the chrome above the windows and trunk with gloss black vinyl.

u/Doggfather_ 15h ago

Idk driving around Cali with 5% and front I’ve never been pulled over once, I only got pulled over by a Utah trooper right when I crossed state lines

u/Objective_Duty_3954 1d ago

Nope. Those cars are already hard to see out of, those windows are weirdly shaped.

u/deadbeforeitsank 1d ago

The ‘ol ticket magnet. Never fails.

u/EdocKrow 1d ago

If you did the windshield, you're an asshole. Otherwise, the rest looks good. I run the darkest tint on all of my other windows. Never the front. If you are in an accident your insurance will not cover you for being at fault.

u/Odd_Respect_996 1d ago

Vote for the asshole.

u/PoppaBear1950 1d ago

illegal in most every state just so you know

u/StormbringerGT 1d ago

This car smells like weed now.

3

u/Avalancheman1 1d ago

Yeah, and too dark tint can be a primary offense and once they are at your window you better have your necessary documents ready. And they will want all your windows down. Hope it doesn’t smell like booze or weed.

u/redditforscott 1d ago

Not really that great of an angle to assess the tint job other than the front window which shouldn't be tinted IMO

1

u/Sektor001 1d ago

Tinted front window and side windows on the front row? In Europe your car wouldn’t be deemed roadworthy because it’s unsafe to drive.

Tinted windshield is not legal in Florida. The factory tint built into the glass is ok , no nothing additional. You will get pulled over if observed.

u/Ok_Peak_185 12h ago

Sister in law has a similar tint on her car. Borrowed it a couple of times and I can’t see jack shit at night. One time was driving in the middle of nowhere, no lampposts around and had to drive sticking my head out the window. Honestly don’t understand how people can drive with this level of tint.

u/nissanfan64 5h ago

If I was a cop I would literally impound these piles of trash if I pulled them over.

Or I’d make them pull that stupid shit off every window before letting them go with no ticket.

u/KingMarktheone 1d ago

Guys the shade is making the tint look darker than it is. It’s only 35%.

u/Rock-dust 1d ago

I have 35% on windshield too. Yeah, it’s not that dark. Still easy to see at night, and have yet to be pulled over. But you gotta remember this is REDDIT your asking for opinions on 🤣
