[QUOTE="cbsteh, post: 1064493940, member: 104956"] Please bear in mind that installing dark tints can also affect other road users. A 2004 report by Baldock and associates from the Centre of Automotive Safety Research, Australia argued against the use of such tints because dark tints placed even on the side windows can make it harder for a driver to see other cars, cyclists, and pedestrians at night, particularly when the driver is turning, dealing with the glare of headlights, or stopping at intersections. Dark tints also prevent other road users to see into a car to assess the intentions of the driver or to see that if the driver has seen them. http://christopherteh.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/vlt-3.jpg [I]View of a pedestrian at night.
