Legal or not?

625 ILCS 5/12-503(c) No person shall drive a motor vehicle with any objects placed or suspended between the driver and the front windshield, rear window, side wings or side windows immediately adjacent to each side of the driver which materially obstructs the driver's view.

 

Note the word MATERIALLY OBSTRUCTS.

Not even an Illinos cop is that stupid.

 

i was looking at the cars. i'm a retired mechanic who once did safety inspeactions.

that's where i get the number 18 - 22 %

 

I seen a great many on this trip to Northwest. Alot of the cars were tinted so dark you could not see in them.

In Texas last week, it was almost every car.

But, I was probably not paying as close of attention as you were so I would have missed alot.

 

During the transition of the period you might run into a situation where the officer may not have access and then the copy will be required.

Personally I will continue to carry it even though it us attached.

 

i was referencing my days as a mechanic. not my days as a trucker.

you read my post wrong. anbd came up with the wrong interpretation of what i said.

what i said was. I'M A RETIRED MECHANIC THAT ONCE DID SAFETY INSPECTIONS.

in no way did i say i'm still looking and inspecting cars while i'm driving a truck.

 

Neither.

I just figured you might notice it more.

I will be looking closer.

 

The FMCSA has no authority over cars. If the state does not have a law prohibiting tinting the windows of a car, the car windows can be tinted as dark as they want to tint them. If the state prohibits window tinting, then the cars would be violating the state law.

As a CMV engaged in interstate transportation, you ARE regulated by the FMCSA. Whether or not the state allows cars to tint the front windows is irrelevant, because the FMCSA still prohibits it in CMV's darker than 30% light blockage (allowing 70% of the light to pass through).

 

It's called a tan, deal with it.

 

On top of that you've got two arms, who cares if you lose one to cancer. Be a man, it's going to take years and years for things to go wrong enough that you lose it. What are the odds that is spreads? 30%? Hell I can live with that, especially since it's your arm.
