Where I am it is done with impunity, every single time we go out at night they are there, even cars and pickups. Why, cos they can't be bothered to spend a few baht on bulbs, or perhaps they think it makes the battery last longer or save fuel...All I know is I cannot see clearly through the tint to be SURE the coast is clear of these stupid people..

You pull out anyway, even though someone may get seriously hurt or even killed? I guess that will teach 'em huh?

All my driving is done in daylight hours other than the occasional trip to the 7/11 or family mart to grab some beers but then mostly I will send the wife on her scooter for that anyways. If they are dumb enough to drive/ride without headlight they deserve all they get. Edited March 12, 2017 by Don Mega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Here is my trusty Vigo, the film looks dark but you can see inside the cabin if up close. At night it ain't good in low light areas, which to me says it could be dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giddyup Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'm not sure what grade of tint is on my Triton, they installed it as part of the freebies package, but it's not that dark and people can see inside easy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drivers can either see through tints enough to operate the vehicle or they can't. I, and a few others, can see through our dark tints, you and another insist that you can't or that it is just a fad. I know for a fact that I can see through mine, you are speculating based on nothing that I can't, and only one of us is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterw42 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I know in Australia a certain level of tint is illegal and police vehicle checks include meters to check etc. But the big difference is nobody, under any circumstances tints the front windscreen, except for a 100-200 mm strip across the top. even a small amount of tint on a widescreen makes night driving near impossible.

Peterw42 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I know as a motorbike rider, window tints are not great as you cannot see the car driver to know if they see you. There is a safety aspect of being able to see the driver of a vehicle and possibly their intent, is this going going to turn in front of me, has he seen me, is he chatting on the phone etc. In Australia, an old man driving with a hat on, avoid at any cost, lol.

However, things aren't quite as clear wearing them at night, no matter how cool you think you look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I think it is fair to say that seeing as there doesnt appear to be any law enforcement issue with "tints" and the degree thereof, that it is simply a matter of personal choice and preference.
