Can you get pulled over just for window tint on your car?

Yes, depending on local laws.

Some window tints can severely lower your field of view on the road, making you a moving death-trap to pedestrians and other drivers.

Many window tints are fine in most countries, however heavy tints will result in you being pulled over.

In the UK for example, the law states that window tints must allow through no less than 75% light.

If a traffic officer believes your tint is illegal, they will pull you over and perform a test on your Windows using a hand-held light measuring device. If the tint is illegal, you will be offered three options:

• Remove the tint in the presence of the officers before you will be allowed to leave the scene
• A prohibition order, preventing you from driving your vehicle until the tint is removed
• A confiscation of the vehicle and a court summons

If you buy your tint from a respectable motor store, rather than a market stall or street mechanic, you're likely to be safer.

Look into the local laws of your area.
