Posted by DCaroll I had a Lexus a few years ago and the prior owner had tinted the front driver and passenger windows. My wife was pulled over while driving the car and was cited for the tinted windows. The ticket forced us to remove the tint and have an officer sign off. Ignoring it, I was told, would prevent us from registering the car. Has this law been changed? The reason I ask is because it seems every 5th car I see today has dark tinted front windows. I was next to a Corvette the other day in bright daylight and I couldn’t even see the outline of a driver, let alone if there was an actual person in there. How do they get away with it?
