All those hazards you listed are valid, and in a way make my point, i.e., that too many drivers don’t give a rip about driving laws because they lack a basic willingness to follow our laws. After all, having a “cool” looking car is much more important as long as they feel that “I can see just fine at night”. It’s a mindset, perhaps more common on this site, that cannot be solved so easily.
I would certainly like to see some data on illegal tint causing night accidents and killing people. I guess we’ll have to wait on that, but all I can say is that other automobile safety requirements, like TPMS and seat belts, ARE based on actual highway deaths.

What if a person has a skin allergy/disorder and is prescribed by the Dr to have tints? Is he breaking the law and have no care for human life? Perhaps your eyes are in no condition to drive with tints. I don't know. But don't assume we all can't see out of ours.

Driving in the rain or any kind of inclement weather is more dangerous than driving with tinted windows. I'm pretty sure 99.9% of the population (.1% being you) will agree with me that we can see out our tinted windows with no issues, while not being able to see pass 50ft in a severe rain storm, yet it isn't illegal. Do you consider everyone driving in the rain endangering your life? Do you drive in the rain? Do you drive with both hands on 10 and 2 100% of the time? Do you drive within the speed limit 100% of the time? Driving is a hazard. Tints have nothing to do with looking cool. It keeps the car cooler and block harmful UV rays from the sun, hence states like NM, AZ, or NV have less strict tint laws. Not because those states don't care about human life. Maybe because the lack of data that proves fatalities linked to tints is the reason? What if a person has a skin allergy/disorder and is prescribed by the Dr to have tints? Is he breaking the law and have no care for human life? Perhaps your eyes are in no condition to drive with tints. I don't know. But don't assume we all can't see out of ours.

I’ll stick with that group.
And BTW anyone who has a skin or visual disorder can get a doctor’s note (at least in California) that allows for certain tints. Of course, the legislators were not easily fooled so they wrote the law to include that such tints must be removed for night driving.

Pointing out other driving hazards (e.g., rain) to justify your own self-generated hazards such as illegal tints is a false argument, slick but without merit. Certainly there are more road accidents in the rain than on dry days. But that doesn’t mean we should stop driving on rainy days. All we must do is take the necessary measures to drive safely in the rain. Again, you make a clever but silly argument.

Chekov, go back and read the original post and see how well your comments contribute to Jon.jordan1996's questions. Looks to me that your very first sentence was the only thing actually on-topic and helpful. Everything else is just rude, trolling BS.
With all due respect, GTFO.

OP, my car came tinted from the previous owner. It's a very dark 3M tint, and I don't know the percentage, even though I'm sure it's not legal here in NY. However, he only tinted the two back-door windows and the rear. I suspect that's why I can get away with it, but I really don't know.
I'm bringing this up as an example of an alternative approach. Some people really don't like the look, thinking it's an unbalanced or unfinished approach to tint. Personally, I like how it's unique and kind of VIP. Here's a picture.

You didn't answer my questions. Do you drive with both hands on 10 and 2 100% of the time? Do you drive within the speed limit 100% of the time? Do you follow the 2 second rule 100% of the time? Do you follow the sign that says 25mph on a curved on or off ramp 100% of the time? Do you ever do anything that is unlawful and is considered dangerous by the law? If you can look in the mirror and honestly say NO, then your face should be on the wall of every DMV in CA. If you can't, then your relentless pursuit to make yourself look like a model tint law abiding citizen is only making you silly and without merit.
