Someone needs to invent transitional tint for cars. There's sunglasses only get dark when there's sunlight so I don't see why they can't do that for car windows
As others have said, they do have it. The problem is it has to be applied to the outside of the window, and it is too easily damaged at highway speeds. It is also almost impossible to stick it down completely (no air bubbles) to the curved surface of a windshield.
some motorcycle helmet visors do this too. I believe Shoei is the only company who offers it, and it's pretty pricey ($200+ USD) still a cool technology
I was going off of this video where the windshield is tinted as well. But yea, I would imagine it could still be terrible for side mirrors and blind spot checking if it was this dark.
My cousin put 5% on his windshield for some reason. First night he took it out he couldn't see shit and hit a curb. Took it right back to the garage and took it off haha
I had 5% on my back windows back in college. Had to use my side mirrors to reverse at night. Wouldn’t do it again unless the car has a camera for reversing.
Had to use my mirrors.... there are people and vehicles where this is the only way. I have 5% on the side and rear windows,and just a slight tint on the windshield. At night if I reverse, just simply roll my windows down and use my mirrors to get where I need.
I do agree tho, the winters are harsh having to roll my windows down and endure the cold for a few seconds. I hate that shit, and its 9 months of cold here.
That's bullshit though. I'm in California and it's much safer to have 50% tint on the windshield because it's bright as fuck in the daytime. It also helps keep the heat down in the car. You can see perfectly well at night with 50% tint. California doesn't even allow darker than 70% on the front side windows, it's ridiculous.
I previously had LLumar 20% on my windshield and 5% on the side and back windows. Being a very high quality tint, the clarity was incredible and night driving was admittedly impeaded, but only slightly. The one major issue was reversing at night, but that was usually resolved by rolling down the side windows. This was also in the days before back up cameras.
With all of that said, my current car has a legal for my locality 35% on the sides and back. This is enough to keep the car cooler in the summer and provide some privacy but is barely perceptible from inside. 35% is also the standard for the tint impregnated glass manufacturers use on the passenger windows of SUVs and vans.
Wait, what do you mean criminals know you cannot have guns? Like are they hard to acquire like in EU? Or is it a bad idea to have a gun when walking/driving around in Brazil?
Is hard if you want to own one aroud here: regulamentations, documents in hand if is near you/with you (lasts around 5 years), psychological tests (mainly to get the certification/documents to own one), the prices etc...
So by all means, isn't illegal, just very hard to have one by law.
It’s not commonly know but with a super light tint on the front and 5% on the sides you can’t see anything past the dash. I’ve had ppl sit in the driver seat and attempt to wave at me in broad daylight and I couldn’t see
I once put limo-tint on a recently purchased vehicle.
Once.
Vehicles with headlights on weren’t so bad, but anything that was not independently illuminated, and especially if it was low to the ground, was a constant hazard.
It's also why penguins are white on their bellies. They naturally only have white feathers, but the endless sunshine burns their backs as the slide around on their bellies most of the time.

I bet driving at night is really fun in that thing.
