Tint laws changing to points violation?

Z06 Rocket · 03-21-2008, 02:15 AM

I heard rumor,, from a tint shop employee I was talking to the other day that there is a push or pending legislation to get illegal tint violations changed to a moving violation carrying points. The speculation is that it would carry 2 points, just enough to blast the insurance rates up the next renewal. I saw articles on groups trying to make loud stereo violations a 2 points violation, but I cannot find anything on the possibility that tint violations would be points as well. Does anyone have any news stories or official information about this? My google search of tint violations and other combinations of the words only finds story after story of police in certain areas cracking down on illegal tint, nothing on the possibility of points being attached to your license. Currently it's a "non-moving" infraction with a fine only and no points.

Shadow? Any ideas? Anyone?

I checked the bills for the 2008 legislative session and there were no hits relevant for "tint" or "window".

Sorry Rocket, I was asleep at the wheel

I haven't heard anything, but I'll check with some sources on Monday and see what I can find out?

Cool Thanks guys. I am getting a pick up truck tinted Tuesday and was wanting to get the most info before then.

I recently got the C6's windows tinted and went with the darkest legal tint I could get. That is still pretty darn dark. Very difficult to see into the car from the outside. I really don't see much incentive to go over the legal limit for tinting with what I have seen.
