I was going to say I agree with the common sense bit and carrying a clear visor as well until you mentioned your helmet. If a completely legal way to get around the sun problem is available why should they get away with illegal visors?

Re: Car Window Tinting, A Warning To Drivers
 

because there is only one make of helmet that does ita nd unfortunately helmets are weird in that certain makes fit different people, some people have Arai shaped heads, some Shoei, some Caberg etc.

Re: Car Window Tinting, A Warning To Drivers
 

Maybe the answer would be to do what they do with car safety items. All helmets made from 2010 have to have a built in thing like yours. A bit like all cars from 1986 ( I think it was ) have to have rear seat belts etc etc

I remember seeing one of these and the copper was quite happy to strip it away by himself. Once he'd got enough off, he gave the driver a producer so that he could show it was all off and had been neatened up.

Sounds like a lot of fannying around to me. He should have the car taken away impounded if it is not safe to drive.

I am fed up seeing these fly on the wall cap programs where they pull a car over for being unsafe and then let the owner drive it away. :(

Both my cars have tinted windows, one is a lot darker than the other, I agree with the front windows being clear, but the rear windows help prevent potential thieves from seeing into the back, which in my job is a bonus!

Agreed - but I find it very entertaining. Not watching the TV, but watching my nine-year-old's reaction to some of the car chases which end up with a couple of trashed police cars and a perp who gets 40 hours community service!

Re: Car Window Tinting, A Warning To Drivers
 

I reckon the answer in the long run is Electrical window tinting which is controlled by the ignition.
Ignition Off you are allowed full blackout/limo tint very secure!
Ignition on controlled by a small box to not allow tinting of any type to the windows forward of the centre pillar and adjustable for the others.
When engaging reverse all tint is off.
These functions can be created/used easily as the gearbox and ignition are already used in reverse parking sensors.

Wow that sounds high tec stuff = another gadget to go wrong (expensively)

Re: Car Window Tinting, A Warning To Drivers
 

There was something about this on a tomorrows world program in the final series, now that technology was a long time ago.
It was on about house windows but the same would work on cars.

It can be made to failsafe CLEAR.
Most new cars now have electrotint rearview mirrors!

As to your comment 90% of electrical things going wrong on cars today are expensive.

So as with all the "useless additions" we have been given it would then become standard.
