The ban on tinted windows applies to the front side windows and the windscreen. But no fines will be issued for the strip on top of the windshield.
The ban on tinted windows applies to the front side windows and the windscreen. But no fines will be issued for the strip on top of the windshield. Therefore, some drivers take liberties by gluing a dark strip along the top edge of the plywood. The AvtoVzglyad portal found out whether such a shade makes sense or if it is a common fad and sun visors are enough.
Tinted stripes along the top edge of car windshields are not uncommon. One shade, made by the windshield manufacturer, is the integral part and complies with regulations and rules. Another – can independently, and then everyone is sculpting – whoever is in what. And does it even make sense if the car is equipped with sun visors?
BEAUTY OR BENEFITS?
As the owner of a car with the top of the windshield tinted straight from the factory, we can say the following: on a sunny day it doesn’t help with the word “at all”. There is so much white color that you even start to squint when the sun shines from the side or behind. Visors aren’t a panacea either – yes, they block the path of the sun’s rays into your eyes, which improves vision somewhat, but doesn’t cut out a huge amount of flooding light either.
POLARIZATION – TO HELP
And what is the result? Yes, everything is very simple – it turns out that polarized sunglasses work best of all, completely stripping the image of your world of excess white. There are no regulations for them, and the most important thing is that no one will ask you to get out of the car to measure the degree of tinting of your glasses. So a thin dark strip is more for beauty than good. Visors protect against direct sun impact in the eyes. Glasses are the miracle cure.
IS A DARK STRIP ON THE HEADBOX LEGAL?
And what does the letter of the law say about the dark stripe? Let’s start with the fact that the fine for applying tinting to the windshield and front side windows is 500 rubles. If the traffic cop reveals that a penalty has already been handed out, you can under art. 19.3, Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation “Disobedience to the order of a police officer.” And this is up to 15 days of arrest.
But what about the stripe? Its placement is not prohibited. But within the framework of the standards, which according to the Decree of the Commission of the Customs Union of 09.12.2011 No. 877 of 2019 prescribe to make the width of the solar control strip no more than 14 centimeters.
In general, if you really want to stick something on the windshield of your car, you can totally do that. But for what? Sun visors cover a much larger area of ​​glass than a dark stripe. The sunglasses do the rest.
