gdgbb Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 You will not have issues with the police. It is not illegal and even if there is legislation it is never enforced. There were plans to make the very dark tints illegal some years ago but that was abandoned after it was realised that all police vehicles with their almost opaque tints had to have it removed also. At that stage it was decided to let things remain as they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Picked up a new car and tint film was pre-installed. I was asked if I prefer without I said No. Personally I like that drivers cannot easily see a "farang" driving, makes you less of a target for some who think its an "opportunity".

It's the 10% that gets you killed. Never said it was impossible to see through, but it has to cut down on visibility in certain light conditions. Anyone who says different is not being honest.

I didn't say that you said it was impossible to see through that type of tint but you did suggest that 80% was impossible to see through with your comment "how do you expect to see through 80%?" The 10% of the time that visibility is drastically reduced more than likely won't "get you killed", you'd probably be in a very dark place driving very slowly.

battersea Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 I wanted the tints on the side windows because my kids sit there...when we go to the beach...i spend half my time trying to stick an inadequate sun shade on the window..which always falls off....we travel a lot and i thought the tinted film might reduce the sunlight in tje car and make it more comfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that on my swift and it works well. Keep the windscreen as light as possible for night driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Haven't a clue what % mine is, Toyota put it on, they had a selection to choose from, I chose blue to match the body colour. Fitted all round but only the top 6 inches of the screen, just above eye level. When pulling out of side streets at night where the street lighting is poor I have to open the side windows as a car or bike with no lights can be missed. Where I am these clowns are abundant. If you or I were to have an accident because you did not see one of these clowns just remember you ain't in farangland trying to sort it out..
