Getting your car’s windows tinted not only looks clean but also saves you from the heat in the summer. If you want darker window films you may want to consider how dark is too dark before installing them.
Dark window tint films can be dangerous not only for you but for police officers. Find out how dark is too dark and why it matters.
Safety
If your window tints are darker than Nevada window tinting laws permit, you pose as a threat to police officers. The officer will not be able to see what drivers or passengers are doing and they are also unable to make eye contact with the passengers inside.
Darker tinted windows also can mean you are trying to hide suspicious activity, which will keep officers on high alert as they approach your car.
Seatbelt and Phone Usage
There are seat belts and phone laws put into place while operating a vehicle. If your front side windows are tinted too dark, cops will not be able to see if you are wearing a seat belt or using your phone. Cops will have to take extra precautions and pull you over if they suspect you are breaking the law.
Reduced Visibility
If your motor vehicle’s windows are tinted way too dark, it may compromise your ability to see clearly and react properly. It may also limit your vision through your side mirrors. Especially when it’s dark outside, you may not be able to interpret images through your rear windows or even your windshield.
When are Tints too Dark?
There is a common rule used by officers, they must be able to have a clear line of vision through the front windows of your car at all times. Darker tint percentages are only allowed when the driver or passenger has health conditions regarding the sun. If this applies to you, make sure you have a doctor’s note handy.
