| Front window tint
For those of you who have their front windows tinted. How often, if at all, do you get pulled over and ticketed? and how much is the ticket?

Why would you want to tint your front windows? Somewhere like Arizona or California I would understand, but Vancouver? Just wear sunglasses the 3 days a year it is sunny.

I heard from an ex-coworker of mine that his brother has a "note" from his optometrist saying that he's really sensitive to light and requires the front tint. So every now and then when he gets pulled over for tint, he'll just show the note.
I don't know if he was lying or not though.

Everyone knows front tint is illegal here. If you decide to get it, you run the risk of getting caught. Some do and some don't. You get caught, you pay for it in either time, money, or both. What difference does it make if the ticket is $100, $150, or even $1000. It's all excess money that doesn't need to be spent on paying off your poor decision. But don't come on here whining and bitching about getting pulled over and/or ticketed.
In the end it is your choice, and who am I to say other wise. But if you are to tint your front windows, tint them limo style. Is best bro. Is best.

lol I am very aware that it is illegal, which is why I asked how much the ticket costs. And asking how much a ticket costs, is not a form of "whinning or bitching", I am simply curious as to how much it costs because I plan on tinting my front windows. In the end, of course it's my choice, whose else would it be smartass. And yes, limo tint is the best

And I didn't say you were whining or bitching, I said WHEN you get pulled over for it.
Enjoy your first fail.

Getting caught with a front tint will require not only a ticket but an inspection as well.
So it will be the initial cost of the tint
The fine associated with the tint
The inspection fee
And a possible recost to retint it
IMO, not worth it. You need to have it removed to pass inspection so really...

Enjoy your first fail. | " But don't come on here whining and bitching about getting pulled over and/or ticketed."
I don't see the word "WHEN" in that sentence. Your sentence implies that I got pulled over and/or ticketed and am now complaining on this forum. If you were half as smart as you think you are, you would notice that my initial post includes absolutely nothing about me getting pulled over and/or ticketed. As a matter of fact, all my post is, is a question checking to see how often or rare people get caught and ticketed for front tint.
Enjoy your fail, as I am sure you encounter many with your douchbag posts

this topic has been discussed numerous times.
everyone's case will be differnet. those who tend to live in cop "hot zones" tend to get more tickets (E.G Richmond No.3, grandville) than those who live in the middle of no where in kelowna.
Most will give you a VI. I personally had no run in's when i had my first car with front tint, but I know friends who got caught twice (re applied tint, then got VI'ed again..)

My friend got a car that came with front driver tints. He got ticketed after 6 months.
He has a white car with dark black tint, I don't know how he didn't get caught earlier...LOL.
I don't know if its worth it or not, he had to spend money to untint it + the initial ticket cost.

Enjoy your fail, as I am sure you encounter many with your douchbag posts | around $50 for the ticket and around 80~90 if you get a VI.
$50 to take the tint off.

to op: i don't have an answer but i do not recommend asking such things on revscene. Instead of objectively answering the simple question, people will go on about their opinions which nobody cares about. that, or they'll start telling u about how illegal it is and how u run a risk (duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh).

maybe you shouldn't have failed him ?
