Most of the time we don’t realize how much we need something until we are in dire need of it! For instance, it’s not really until you are sitting in the middle of traffic that you realize in blazing heat that you still have yet to get your windows tinted. Tint serves many purposes for your vehicle: it blocks 65% of sun’s heat as well as 99.9% of harmful UV rays, it protects interior and upholstery, it protects your eyes from glare and eyestrain and makes the vehicle glass safer by holding shattered glass in place, in the event of a collision.
Although all good things are taken in moderation, too much tint can make it rather difficult and dangerous to drive, especially at night. This is why all states have a regulation as to what VLT (visible light transmission) percentage is allowed. This is to keep all drivers as safe as possible on the road.
One thing to keep in mind is that it is perfectly legal to be sold a car that has darker tint than is legally allowed. It is then up to you as the new owner to make sure that the tint is legally where it should be.
