Maybe in California they were able to convince you of this, but in Texas
the police put in much more than 2 cents worth on the subject and they
didn't even try to pretend that it was anything other than that they wanted
to be able to see into cars. I've had tint on my windows (not the
windshield of course) that was so dark you couldn't see in (it's nobody's
business what I'm doing in my vehicle) and have had no problems seeing to
drive at night. OK, maybe limo tint on the front windows is going too far
and certainly tint on the windshield is a no-brainer, but I think accidents
caused by tint are extremely rare if they can be documented at all. If you
want to make the roads safer crack down on drunk drivers, but leave my tint
alone.
