He added tinted windows also reduce the ability of drivers to see what's around them, especially when it is raining or dark outside.
"Motorists need to be able to make eye contact with other drivers and with pedestrians when operating a motor vehicle, and pedestrians in turn need to be able to make eye contact with drivers before crossing a street," Doiron said. Le Clair said he stopped tinting car windows because of the restrictions under the Motor Vehicle Act.ĭoiron said tinted windows are a big safety concern from a police officer's point of view. "In addition to that of course you have films that block out the heat - the glare." "A lot of people are sensitive to UV rays and window film blocks at least 99 per cent of UV rays so they get that immediate protection," Le Clair said.

"You have to have 70 per cent of the light pass through the windshield so we have a little device, it's called a tint meter, and we just install it on the windshields and it tells us whether there's 70, 80, 90 or even less than 70 on the windshields," Doiron said.Ĭhris Le Clair, who is general manager of Maritime Window Film Products in Moncton, said tinting car windows should be allowed. Front side windows must have 70 light transmission or more. Police in Moncton are on the lookout for vehicles with windows that are darkly tinted.Ĭst Jay Doiron said although tinting is allowed on the rear windows of vehicles, it is illegal to have any kind of tint, spray or film on the front windshield, or driver and passenger side windows, that reduces light by more than 30 per cent. California window tint law restricts windshield tint on top 4 inches.
