BAN dark tint on windshield

[JULIUS V TIMBOL]

Dark tine is a security measure specially for lady drivers. It has nothing to do with using high beam.

[K.I.L.L.]

The other question that begs to be asked is, what are the maximum wattages and types of light that one is allowed to use on their cars. Let us say I have a new car and that car's lights would be mich brighter than say a car made 10 years ago. The driver of the older car might think that the driver of the new car is using its high beam when they face each other on the road. The same goes for rear tail lights. The new cars use super bright LEDs that I find blinding.

Anyway going back to the topic, I am of the opinion that it shouldn't be disallowed as we all know that global warming is making our weather hotter and I want to maintain my privacy. I'm very wary of how some bad people always try to see how many people are in a car when they want to do something. I also don't want to cook my speakers, dashboard and leather seats. Be that as it may, if it did become illegal, I would comply.

Agree.

Nakakainis minsan magkaron ng 10.5 Gen Altis sa harap mo pag sobrang traffic tapos gabi pa.

I mean, I know the owners couldn't do anything about it. Pero sana naman hindi ganun kaliwanag ginawa ng Toyota.

Para ka na rin tinapatan ng HIDs eh. Hehe.

Im aware of this... is this an excuse for me to go EUDM (red tail lights? :D

That's why in traffic i dont prolong the use of my brake lights when stopped and instead use the handbrake. PAg naka high beam yung ugok sa likod ko,that's where i keep on the brakes + RFL.

I also think that constant high beam use has more to do poor eyesight or poor headlight aiming coupled with an utter lack of awareness on road etiquette.

Some people just want to watch your eyes burn... ...If only it were legal to install HIDs on the trunk.

A light mirror tint on the windshielf suffices for privacy and security. US law allows a modest amount of tint on the windshield, but bans darker tints.

Dark tints are just about useable in the daylight and at night time, but in emergency situations, like power outages, or driving in typhoon weather on provincial roads, they are a hazard. Especially on asphalt roads, which are hard enough to see in the rain without tint.

only papers stolen.. good for you! so while your more expensive radio was left intact, the bag was stolen. now, does this not give you an idea of how robbers think?

actually, putting everything (within reason, of course) of potential commercial value in the trunk, away from prying eyes, IS recommended by authorities.

i am only against front windshield tints, and, to a degree, rear windshield tints. to me, you can tint heavily your side glass, so they can't take a peek at your radio. but leave a hole for your side mirror's view.. heh heh.

actually, front windshield tints do limit vision. and that's a fact. and while we can often get away with it in the daytime, it becomes a different ballgame at night. believe it or not, despite what many drivers want to think, front windshield tint at night IS a driving hazard. the human eye is already maximally sensitized to light at night. it can not get any more sensitive to compensate for your front tint.

why are jeepneys always on high beams?
1. they can see potential pasajeros, better;
2. pundido na ang low beam filament nila, at ayaw nilang bumili ng bago;
3. low beams sila, ngunit hindi nila ma-adjust dahil walang adjusting mechanisms ang sealed beams nila; and
4. hindi naman sila hinuhuli, e.

and to those who claim that they've adjusted to the tint, i ask,"how do you know?" "i'm not worried about what you see, it's what you don't see, that i am worried about."

Dont worry about me paps, i am a responsible driver and dont mind my very datk tint as well, as mentioned i already adjusted and know my limits especially my normal day to day route. What i think you should be worried about are irresponsible drivers in high beam, meaning you should still be a defensive driver.

dahil kay nognog at nancy siguro kaya nauuso ang dark tints yung tire black nga nagkakaubusan wala akong mabili dito

[timykoo]

I don't see any wrong with Dark Tints. Just dumb incapable drivers which happens to pass a LTO exam. Due to corruption, sa kakalagay ng lagay ng pera. Ayan tuloy ang nangyayari saten. Many drivers doesn't know the rules anymore. Basta lang makarating from point A to B. For example na lang, a simple as left most lane for overtaking hindi masunod sunod eh. Isabay mo pa dyan mga traffic enforcers, karamihan hindi man ginagawa ang dapat na trabaho. Instead they just wait for their prey around the corner or on the next block. (NOTE: mostly not all).

And what i hate the most are the PUJ. Hanep ang ilaw. Minsan naman walang ilaw. o.o

Bwiset ung kasalubong ko sa daanghari near shell and kingbee nakahigbeam, around 257am. Nabulag tuloy ako, buti na lang kabisado ko daan at di ko kailangan magswerve. Bwiset talaga. Di ko sure kung nakatint or hinde

kung talagang hi-beam ang problema, bakit tint ang ibabawal? parang sinabi mo na mausok yung kotse mo kaya magpalit ka ng gulong dba?

For me, kaya ako nag dark tint all around:
1. Mainit, may nabasa ako sa taas na ok lang daw pag umaga may tint pero hindi sa gabi, meron bang removable na tint? Kahit malakas yung aircon mo eh sunog ka pa rin sa araw pag walang tint.
2. Security, hindi kita sa loob yung laman eh.
3. Mas madalas hindi ka pansinin ng TEs, lalo na yung mga Pasay TEs na random kung manghuli. Nakikiramdam din kasi sila kung sino ang sakay.

HIndi naman ako balasubas mag drive, hindi rin ako naghihi-beam pag gabi, dapat talaga ang hulihin lang eh yung mga nakababad lang sa hi-beam o yung mga OA kung mag HID. Tsaka karamihan naman ng nakikita kong sabog mag HID eh mga lintek na motorsiklo na nagcocounterflow.

[d'flash]

dark tint or manyak tint, madaming naka dark tint kasi madaming manyak? :naughty2:

IMO wala naman problema kung mag dark tints ka, basta wag ka masyadong mag high beam, para di ka rin naman makaabala o maka disgrasya ng iba. yung iba kasi naka dark tints e wal*nghiya saksakan ng labo pala mata, so ang tendency is mag highbeam talaga pag gabi, which is wrong for me. kung malabo mata mo wag masyado dark yung tints,

The law banning tints was done because of criminal elements. So police could see car occupants from a distance.

-

Also, the safety issue is not whether you can see at night in normal, everyday conditions, but whether you can see effectively in very dark conditions, such as unlit provincial highways in the rain.

Also... yes... dapat ipagbawal ang bwisit na HID retrofit sa reflector housings... :

hehehe naalala ko tuloy ung nadaanan kong checkpoint sa visayas ave nung huling election. pinara ako nung pulis kasi ang dilim daw ng tint ko pero nde naman nila sinabing bawal

[TopEngine]

hindi yung tint ang problema kundi yung paggamit nila ng high beam. Depende sa eye-vision ng driver yan, ako nga naka medium black (as my S.A. described it) sa WS pero naka-shades pa rin ako when driving at broad daylight dahil madali masilaw mata ko, at sa gabi naman naka-adapt na ako sa tinted WS

yan eh sa US, kailangan ba yan sa bansa natin? i mean so pag wala nang tint ang mga kotse at kita na yung loob, titingin ba naman yung mga pulis sa mga occupant to catch a criminal? AFAIK, di ganun kasipag pulis natin.

[jresperanza]

the point here is if this is for the greater benefit of the motorist then this law should be PASSED

i hate seeing dark tints on high beams, it blinds me

how do you determine this??? put also your high beams, if the other car wont switch off his/her high beams it means his/her tints are blocking your light thus, he/she dont care...

if heat from sunlight is an issue? then a light to mid tint should solve it, its 2013, tints are now high-tech

[IMm29]

Catch the j*ck*$$ using high beams in the city/Metro - whether or not he's got a tinted front windshield.

The next question to ask is how the crocodile enforcers are going to enforce this law.

[foresterx]

and a lot of our corrupt cops are also full time criminals. part time job lang nila ang pag pulis nila para maging legal ang crime na gagawin nila.:bwahaha: no offense to anyone but it's true, i'm not saying all cops but most of them.


anyway still don't see a reason why dark tints should be banned just because of the highbeam/HID issue, there should be more reasons why it should be banned. it's pretty stupid and idiotic to ban it just because some motorist are selfish and don't care about others. bakit di na lang iban lahat ng motor vehicle para wala ng problema? that way yung mga selfish na sa tingin nila dapat iban ang tint dahil na sisilaw sila ng ibang kotse eh di na ma silaw. diba that way wala na problema sa daan. no offense but in my opinion those who are suggesting to ban dark tints just because of this reason is just as selfish as those highbeam/HID abusers and has no regard to the safety of other motorist.

i consider myself as a good motorist on the road. i always use my turn signal even if it's just inside a parking lot, stay in one lane, never have i parked like an idiot, never been to an accident, follow stop signs/lights, stay on one lane even on traffic, i yield when i need to, i don't swerve(yes swerving is real and illegal don't believe everything you read on fb). if you use your turn signal to switch to my lane i will let you go into my lane with out a doubt, if you don't well depends how you try to enter my lane but most of the time if there is enough space i just let others enter. i know all the rules of the road and follow them, although i admit i over speed form time to time, anyone who says they don't is either a liar, bad driver or a senior citizen. never have i used my highbeam just because the road is poorly lit, i only use my highbeams to signal other drivers of my intention. but if dark tints are banned for the sole reason of highbeams/hid then i guarantee you i will replace my headlights with the brightest possible non retrofited HID para sabog ang buga and even put the brightest fog lights i can find to put on my roof just to show the fools who banned dark tints that their solution for this problem is as stupid as they are.
