Why are tinted windows illegal?
Why is window tint illegal in some states? Most states prohibit window tinting for safety and security purposes. Tinting limits the amount of light that enters the car but can make it hard to view the street. Limited vision leads to an increased number of accidents on the road.
What is the legal requirement for window tint?
The front windscreen must allow a minimum of 75% of light in at all times. The front side and passenger windows must allow at least 70% in. This means that if you are pulled over and have the tints on an officer will not ask you to remove it or issue a ticket.
What is legal tint in Ontario?
According to Ontario's laws, you should avoid placing any window film tinting on your windshield and only use an auto tint of 70% VLT or higher on your front side windows. A tint with 70% VLT (visible light transmittance) allows 70% of visible light through, blocking about 30% of the light.
