Legalize window tint
Allow Rhode Island registered passenger vehicles to have window tint
Why is this important?
Rhode Island is the only state in New England that doesn't allow any type of window tint on passenger vehicles. There are many functional benefits to having window tint.
Better driving- Driving with the sun directly in your face isn't just an annoyance – it can be deadly. Car window tint shields your eyes and prevents glare from all sources of extreme light so you’ll never be caught driving badly due to no fault of your own.
UV Blocking- Car window tinting blocks up to 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. If you’re in the car for extended periods, car window tinting is important for protecting you and loved ones from cancer-causing UV rays. UV protection comes in various grades, and you don’t need to have windows significantly darkened to block UV.
Heat Control- In addition to UV, the sun also tends to create uncomfortable heat inside your car. Since car window tinting also blocks up to 71% of solar energy, you can easily stay comfortable and prevent expensive overuse of the AC
Safety-Tint helps to keep your car’s window from shattering upon impact with an object or in the event of an accident. This can go a long way to protecting the health and lives of your passengers if anything unexpected happens on the road.
Theft Prevention- Car window tinting also protects from car theft. Security tint makes car windows more durable, and, since broken glass is held together, even a thief that succeeds in breaking a window is still faced with a solid panel of glass and film. hundreds of cars are broken into yearly because of visible objects in cars.
As a Rhode Island resident I strongly believe window tint can help reduce the numbers of vehicles broken into yearly, number of accidents caused by sun glare in morning and evening commute, and bring in business and jobs to window tinting parlors.
