I appreciate your response, and understand that you believe it does not hinder your driving, but you really didn’t answer my questions. Now I’m not trying to play “gotcha” here; I really would like to hear why you believe the various laws are inappropriate and do not pertain to you advocates of the tints in question.

BTW, in that I have an instrument rating I can fly an airplane without looking outside at all so I can certainly “handle” it. Of course I have Air Traffic Control that has me and other airplanes on radar to avoid any collisions. Unfortunately, no such service yet exists for automobiles.

 

unlike some of have a legit condition and as of now it's not illegal for me, if that answers your question

 

the main reason y tint is illegal in ny, is because people where shooting cops..cops rolling up to the car..they caint see in they would roll down the window and shoot..( thats from what i heard)..inncidents like that..nothing about visibility..

And why tint is legal for those that are perscribed? Bc it strains the light going into the car.. ex..strong sun..when ur squinting..everyone knows how that feels..or oncoming traffic at night, ***gots rolling around with there high beams..

o yeah and did i forget to mention, that its looks ridic?

 

I know dark side tints are an irritant to the police, but I thought we were discussing windshield tints, not side tints, unless you think the cops first walk up and try to look into the car from the front. We all know that’s not the case. So your answer perhaps is what you heard but it doesn’t seem to be correct.

As for the OP with his windshield tint made legal via a doctor’s note, I still believe we would all be better served if he removed the tint and just wore sunglasses during the day. That should prevent any need to squint. But that’s his choice and there’s nothing more that can be done.

May I add that I’ve been driving a long, long time, probably starting before you were born, and was taught to briefly look away from some inconsiderate driver's high beams coming at you. I’ve managed quite well and never thought that 20% on my windshield was a better way.

With that it’s rather late and this old man is going to bed.
