You really don't get it do you? The point is he can't see the car or motorbike unless he winds down the window.

TIT Next you'll be asking why they ride on the wrong side of the road, or make two extra lanes when turning right, etc, etc. Need I go on?

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..

So you never drive anywhere that doesn't have street lights? That must restrict where you go considerably. 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.

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.

[giddyup]

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.

It's how well you see. That's my point!

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.

All eyes are different to light, NO ONE should say this or that is OK because they are OK..

And using the same logic, neither should anyone say that this, or that, is not ok just because it is not ok for them!  Maybe he's listening?

Funny man...shame you didn't get a plasti-chrome fuel filler cover also to complete the look, though!

 

You don't open the bonnet very often do you?

I do take the blower off at night though..............

Nice Colour Trans

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.

Same applies  to the UK. 

[Peterw42]

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.

I can see through sunglasses, during the day. However, things aren't quite as clear wearing them at night, no matter how cool you think you look.

Who brought up sunglasses, or "cool", maybe you're replying to the wrong person?   I don't wear sunglasses, day or night and I didn't mention them.

You don't see the connection between sunglasses (tinted glass) and tinted windscreens? Never mind, obviously too deep.

I see a similarity (as deep as your comment was) but why bring them up?

You seem to think that I said I look cool in sunglasses.  Never mentioned them.

I should have said one instead of you, ie, no matter how cool one thinks they look. As to the comparison between sunglasses and tinted glass, I think that's self explanatory.

No, it wasn't self-explanatory, you very clearly indicated that I thought that I looked cool.  Anyway, you're on your own with this now.

[CharlieH]

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.
