Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / April 2008Why are SUVs allowed to have tinted windows but not cars?
I noticed that in most states, cars are not allowed to tint except a slight darkness in the rear windows (i.e. all windows behind the front driver and passenger windows), but any car that comes with dark tinting in the rear windows from the factory, as is the case with most SUVs and vans, are allowed such dark tinting. The problem is that I never see any regular car that has available dark tinting in the rear windows from the factory, meaning that cars are basically not allowed such dark tinting but SUVs and minivans are allowed. How is this fair, and what is the reasoning behind this? I know police don't like approaching cars with dark tinting, but then why is it ok for SUVs?

All window tinting should be banned. Drivers are all potential killers and should be easily identifiable. Letting drivers have tinted windows is as stupid as allowing ski-masks in banks.

Cars aren't going to be banned, there is no guilt before proven innocence, and guns won't be banned, either, BTW. What else do you want ban? Chill out, man. > On Mar 30, 6:44 pm, "Speeders & Drunk Drivers are MURDERERS" > > All window tinting should be banned. Drivers are all potential > > killers and should be easily identifiable.

The reckless driving that leads to the death of innocents is premeditated, you idiot. When some drunk driver runs over a kid i want the witnesses to be able to identify the driver. License plates only identify the owner of the vehicle. THINK, you hatefilled criminal- coddler.

What else do you want ban? > Chill out, man. Political stuff aside, I find tinted windows to be problematic on a pragmatic level, and I'd like to see them banned too. I can't speak for you, but in certain traffic situations (ie. a four-way stop for one example, changing lanes on the highway for another), I need to "read" the other driver's intent; detect his "body language" so to speak, see where his attention is at. It helps me feel safer about my next move. I am very uncomfortable when I can't see the other drivers' eyes. There is no "constitutional right" to tinted windows to my knowledge, so get off that 1st amendment high-horse, or whatever one you're on. > There is no "constitutional right" to tinted windows to my knowledge, > so get off that 1st amendment high-horse, or whatever one you're on. UH,rights are NOT GRANTED by the Constitution,the Constitution limits GOVERNMENT from infringing on our inherent rights.Nor is the Constitution any limit ON our rights.

Glad to hear i'm finally getting thru that thick skull of yours. SFB spewed: > All window tinting should be banned. Drivers are all potential >killers and should be easily identifiable. You are prime evidence of that. So, SFB, just how dark is the tinting on the windows of your beater? I hear that dark tinting makes your turning tricks in your beater more private. >Letting drivers have tinted windows is as stupid as > allowing ski-masks in banks.

Florida law says that the front side windows can only be 30% IIRC,but the rear and back side windows can be limo tint.

Same here. But the laws don't differentiate between cars and SUVs, so I think the OP has posted based on a false assumption.

But the laws don't differentiate between cars and SUVs, so > I think the OP has posted based on a false assumption. I agree. SignatureJim Yanik jyanik at kua.net I found the official MD law, which basically says that cars & station wagons are limited to how dark the windows can be all around, but SUVs, trucks, and vans can have any amount of tint behind the front side windows: "VEHICLE WINDOW TINT LAW Section 22-406 of the Maryland Transportation Article Class "A" Registered Vehicles #13-912 (Passenger Vehicles & Station Wagons) - May have add-on (aftermarket) window tint on any window except the windshield, provided that the tinting material allows a minimum of 35% light transmittance through the glass. Class "B, E, & M" Registered Vehicles #13-913, 13-917 & 13-937 (For Hire Vehicles, Trucks & Multi- Purpose Vehicles) - May have add-on (aftermarket) window tint on any window except the windshield, provided that the tinting material on the windows to the immediate right and left of the driver allows a minimum of 35% light transmittance through the glass. The remaining windows have no percentage requirement." > > > cobra.0...@gmail.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > - Show quoted text - >I noticed that in most states, cars are not allowed to tint except a >slight darkness in the rear windows (i.e. all windows behind the front >driver and passenger windows), Most states?

The three states I have lived in (CA, AZ, and IL) all allow any level of tint on all the rear windows (i.e. anything except the windshield and the two front side windows).

The problem with using that line is that after hearing it enough times, the guy on the shitty end of the stick might just decide that he might as well look out for Number One and no one else as well. SignatureThere's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one. >>On Mar 30, 5:06 pm, cobra.0...@gmail.com wrote: >>> How is this fair, and what is the reasoning behind this?
