| Desperately we need to reign in car "style" choices like this. Beyond headlights being too bright, lift kits should be banned and tint regulations should be enforced. Same with sound regulations. Public roads are not race tracks; they are for people. |

| ▲ | LeifCarrotson 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | A minivan with tinted front windows is not OK, because pedestrians and other drivers at intersections can't see where the driver is looking. You don't need to be able to see the rear seats, which is why those can be opaque on a panel van. I have no issues with rear windows being tinted or not. Sure, express yourself however you see fit. It's the front windows that should not be (but often are) tinted, and yet police will watch them drive by and not lift a finger. | |

| ▲ | potato3732842 3 minutes ago | parent [-] | | So let me get this straight, we need to regulate everybody more because some drug dealer had the front windshield of whatever Infiniti sedan those guys are driving these days tinted some stupid shade? If you actually read the existing laws in most state they're pretty damn reasonable and amount to "don't put too much tint on the three front windows all vehicles have" This is either a case of Karen doesn't know the law so Karen assumes there is none or Karen wants way more than the existing law but doesn't wanna come out and say it because Karen knows it's unreasonable. (Reminder: Karen is a state of mind, not a name) |

| What bothers you about tints? I've never bothered to get one since it's illegal where I'm at but the new ones seem pretty cool for cave dwellers who fear the light. They tint well during the day but you can still see at night from what I've seen on friends cars. |

| ▲ | ghusto 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | It's like driving behind a truck or van, you can't see past the (tinted) car in front. The solution would be to overtake people with tinted windows. Unfortunately, the type of people with tinted windows are exactly the type you shouldn't overtake. | | |

| ▲ | mtoner23 6 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | most aftermarket tints are too dark and dont allow pedestrians to see into the car to see if they going to be hit by the driver. its illegal in most places but cops dont do anything about it. | | | |
| ▲ | globular-toast 6 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I could talk about eye contact and how using the road only works if we cooperate but, more than anything, I just find a heavily tinted windscreen to be antisocial. It's like the ultimate form of bullying. Driving around in a killing machine without your victims even being able to see you. | | |
| ▲ | tybstar 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | I like to stare right into the windshield where I think the driver's face must be, make them think I can see through the tint. I doubt it works. |
