That's one reason tint laws exist, but it's certainly not the primary one. Like seatbelt laws, tint laws are for your own protection. Tinted windows decrease your ability to see all around your vehicle at night. There needs to be a legal limit in order to prevent unnecessary accidents.




I neither need nor want government to protect me in this way. Also, it is obvious government have no clue as to what a reasonable safe maximum tint is, because millions of people drive with darker tint every day without getting in accidents.

In fact, I consider a moderate tint (30% or so) to be a safety feature in reducing glare, with minimal impact to night vision.
