Recently, legislation in the field of road safety has tended to tighten some of the rules that determine the technical regulation of a vehicle. Since July 2012, the police traffic police for tinting the windshield and side windows of vehicles, whose light transmission when measured with a special device is less than 70%, has the right (except for a fine of 500 rubles) to remove the state license plate numbers of the vehicle until the detected violations are eliminated.
Engineers in the city of Tolyatti in 2006 (long before the introduction of the changes in the Russian traffic rules) put into effect a patented quick-change tinting scheme, which is a double-glazed window: one (inside) with tint, the other (outside) without it. Double glazing allows avoiding excessive heating of the car interior from sunlight, hiding valuable items and electronic devices in the passenger compartment from the eyes of the public, saving gasoline spent on the intensive operation of the air conditioner during the hot summer season. For example, in the state of California (due to weather conditions) since 2012, the installation of tinted windows is a prerequisite! In addition, the car is the personal space of the driver and passengers, and the double glass installed in the car will, for example, avoid idle conversations if the motorist uses his car to meet with a girl.
Also, if the driver uses double tinted windows on the highway, and this was noticed by the traffic police inspector, then in the case of a known dexterity of the motorist when lowering the inner tinted glass and the lack of video recording of the violation, this will allow the driver to avoid an
administrative fine. In addition, the guardian of the law, if double windows are used on a car, do not have the right to withdraw the driver’s license plate number from the driver.
Double glazing can be installed both on domestic cars and on some models of foreign cars. Currently, for example, this double-glazed installation is available for drivers of automobiles of the model range of the Volga Automobile Plant (VAZ 2110, 2112, Kalina, etc.), as well as for some models of Japanese Mitsubishi cars, for cars of the German concern BMW.
The installation of double glazing and electrical equipment does not take much time
potential customers, installed glass fully comply with Russian GOST standards. If the car owner does not have enough experience in these manipulations, then it is better to contact specialists. They will quickly and efficiently install the second glass, taking into account not only the model of the car, but also the smallest details of the body structure. First, it’s worth knowing if the vehicle is suitable for this change.
If the car is not suitable for such a transformation, then it's time to think about tinting the windows of the car with the permitted light transmission. In this case, the driver can safely drive on the city roads without worrying about breaking the law.
