The Phoenix guy driving the late-model luxury-large SUV who a) littered, and b) didn't signal lane changes in dense traffic, falls, predictably I think, into the former category.
I drove along side of him, to get a look at the guy. Could see nothing.
Here's my thoughts on deep tinting.
1. It's illegal in several states/provinces. Here's the law for Arizona:
Front Side Windows Must allow more than 33% of light in.
Back Side Windows Any darkness can be used.
Rear Window Any darkness can be used.
2. It is a safety issue. It is an important addition to a driver's total information base to be able to see a fellow-driver. Is he paying attention? Which way is he looking? Etc.
3. There might be a justification for it from a sun/temperature perspective, or an anti-theft perspective.
So, I guess I'll cut the guy some slack on this one, but the dark-tinted windows seem to fit the profile of a litter/non-signaler.
Memo to Phoenix Police dept.: in addition to red cars, start monitoring cars with deep-tint windows.
And that's the way the clear-windowed Ball bounces.
