Who would have thought that Window Tint Laws exist in some states? In case you think car window tinting is not a big deal, you need to think again. The laws in different states may vary extensively on which window can be tinted and how dark you can go. Here are some cities that implement this kind of law, and how do they differ from each other.
California
The country is well known for its strict safety rules and regulations on the street, most especially when it comes to motor vehicles. The Golden State is known to have the most punishing window tinting law in the country. Compared to most cities, the rear and the back-side windows are not subject to certain shading or tinting restrictions. But the screens may not be more reflective than a standard one, which means that a mirror-like finish will automatically result in a fine. The country only permits non-reflective tinting on the top four inches of the front side windows and the front windshield of your car, and the tint must enable at least 70 percent of the light to pass through your window.
There are different fines when you get stopped for this violation for multiple times. For your first offense, you will pay a $25 fine and get a ticket that says that you need to fix it, and you need to comply with it within the given period. Once you fail to conform to the initial citation, the second offense could obligate you to pay a fine up to $200 for the same violation.
Michigan
The northern sun can hit you right in your eyes when it is summer in the Great Lakes State, and all you can do is invest in a contrasted pair of sunglasses if you want to block the sun effectively. As with almost every state, the country does not set restrictions for the back-side and rear windows, but it likewise does not apply its standard screen as a percentage of light that can pass through. The owner can only have a strip coverage for the top four inches of front-side windows and the front windshield. This rule makes the law much easier since the enforcers do not have to know how much light can pass through the window.
New Mexico
The land of Mexico is also known as the land of blazing desert heat. When it is summer season, these events can triple in number for weeks. Considering the amount of heat, the city has the least restrictive window tint law in the country, and it permits tinted windows with only 20 percent of the light that can pass through!
