    The dummy-in-the-passenger-seat trick should throw off most would-be attackers.

    If anything, I actually felt more unsafe when I had medium dark tint, both because it was hard to drive at night and because I wouldn't be seen from outside if something bad was happening in the cabin.


    I very much agree sa post ni kai.

    Mas madami negatives ang dark tint kaysa light tint.

    -

    At yung mga naririnig nyo dahil nakalight tint at girl driver eh kwentong kumalat na lang yan pero once twice at the most thrice. Hindi yan consistent nangyayari. Dapat na news na yan every month kung meron ganyan dati.


    Ang mga criminal hindi yan pipili random....

    "uy ito light tint rapin natin"

    "another light tint...sugod carnapin"

    Nagpaplano yan wala ka pa sa kotse. Sa mga car park na lang pag gabi. Yari ka kung dark tint kotse mo. Kasi pag open mo door locks eh nagtatago yan sa passenger side at once parehas na kayo nasa loob eh good luck wala nakakita kung ano ginagawa sayo.

    Ilan beses na ito pinagdebatehan ng mga police agency. Talong-talo naka dark tints at mas mainit pa sa mata pag police checkpoint. Pag light tint usually sa experience ko hindi na pinapa-baba bintana syempre napogian sa akin, walang masamang tinapay tabas ng mukha ko.

    I have a feeling that cars are more aggressive with me when I am driving my car with super dark tint. I'm not sure if it's just me but maybe because dark tints make my car look aggressive too.

    What I like about driving a car with light or no tint at all e others cars are more polite and always give way to me. Mabait ata mga pinoy talaga basta babae yung driver

    I agree with Cathy. Drivers and traffic enforcers are nicer to female drivers. I use this fact shamelessly to my advantage haha. Especially useful, for example, when joining moving traffic from a parking ramp or driveway. Or trying to overtake a slow trike -- I just wave thank you after.

    I can usually get away with pretty aggressive driving because of this hahaha

    #timorbosresign parang puro nonsense itong taong ito!

    My last car that didn't have a tint was a Civic EK. Back then, magkaiba ang kulay ng braso ko, and my left arm is obviously darker than my right arm! [emoji23]

    Tbh, i appreciate what orbos is doing. At least theyre trying to be strict about the law and experimenting how to lessen traffic.
    Mukhang nura lang VLT tester since i saw jeff tan displaying one sa shop nya.
    At kahit sino maging MMDA chairman, siguradong magagakit mga tao sa kanya since hopeless ang traffic sa atin. [emoji51]

    Tim Orbos does not innovate. Puro bawal ng ganito ganyan. He is penalizing the Filipino people for the government's stupidity and lack of long-term planning.

    If this can solve traffic then go for it. Pero ano nga pala matulong nito sa traffic?

    In my experience, quite a lot in the province. Mga hindi nakakakita ng poste, bata, o butas sa daan.

    And after driving cars with 5% VLT, 20% VLT, 70% VLT, and no tint, malaking difference ang manyak tints sa gabi especially pag umuulan.

    It's not like those with dark tints drive any slower even if their field of view is much less than those with lighter tints. Less field of view = less reaction time = more chances of screwing up.

    But from experience, it's still better to have dark tints all around (say 5% windows and 20% windshield) rather than 5% windows and then just visor tint for the windshield. While this gives you good forward visibility, your peripheral vision is severely impaired since your eyes don't adjust quick enough to view the side mirror nor look out the side windows for obstacles. Eto yung pinaka-ayokong dinadrive na kotse.

    Good point re: eyes adjusting to light levels at night with all around tint. We don't have auto brightness like our phones. Eyes take a while to adjust.

    Why don't they just limit the darkness of tint instead of trying to eliminate ot completely?

    Been reading about this and am glad I didn't upgrade the tint provided by the casa. My SA was selling me the mirror-type/reflective (one-way) tint, but I chose to keep the free six-inch tint on the top portion of the windshield.

    However, I am thinking of changing the windshield tint to clear type and upgrading the one installed on other windows. I'd like to be certain about UV protection and heat rejection. I've tried driving my new car at noon and the sunlight still hurts a bit. Good clear tint will help reduce the effort that the aircon will need to cool the inside of the car during hot days. Another reason is still to reduce glare at night. Headlights on high beam appear much brighter without any tint on.

    Tints help protect the leather seats, compensated with high intensity beam that blinds other on the road at night

    What's with our government lately?

    A lot of unplanned initiatives wanting to be implemented:
    1. Odd-even scheme
    2. EDSA fee
    3. New conduction plate format
    4. Excise tax


    And then tint law-- do we even have the enough, well-informed enforcers to monitor it?
