Default Question about tint.

My dad has something where he cant be in sunlight like that so I'm telling him to get a doctor's note for tint for our cars. Now my question is with a doctors note is there a certain % that can only put on or can I just put 5% all on the windows and 35 or 20% on the windshield?

dark tint looks sooo good. I was actually at the tint shop today and the kid working there told me he has a doctor note and has 5% all around with 35% up front. He said when the man pulls him over he just shows him the paper and off he goes.

yeah there's a process, you can't just get the note and drive around w/ it. Something the MVA needs to do to verify it

Note..then MVA...then tint. Just make sure you go to someone familiar with tinting windshields bc they're rather sensitive.

You're giving cops a reason to stop you. Regardless if you got a note for tint, they will likely site you for something else since they went out of the way to pull you over. Just a thought.

if you have a docotrs note for the tint it doesnt matter how dark you go but some cops will ask you for the note and if you dont hav e it on the spot than they will most likely give you a summons.

How stupid is that... Then the person will go to court and get off and totally waste tax payers' money. BTW, I really don't know how you guys drive with super dark tint. I have 25% all around except for windshield and I can barely see the road when I make turns.
