I've got 70% tints on the front and 80% on the rears, and you can still see perfectly well outside. Infact, i'd say visibility has improved as you don't get the glare from the sun anymore. You don't even realise they're there after a week or so, it's just like driving as normal. Haven't tinted the windscreen though
I HATE people who tint their fronts.grr When approaching someone from the side, I want to be able to see that the driver is/has been looking at me and is not just pulling straight out whilst on the phone. It's saved me plenty of times...I've got 70% tints on the front and 80% on the rears, and you can still see perfectly well outside.

People that pull out regardless are going to do so whether they have tints or not, they're just crap drivers

Yeah that is a good point, but i know i'm not going to pull out in front of someone unless they're giving me a reason to do so, such as indicating or stopping. I don't use my phone whilst driving either.

Another thing you are tought when your driving is prepare for the unexpected. If you think someone might pull out, then slow down and prepare for it just incase. If they do, then you've saved yourself, regardless of looking 'at the driver'.
if you see someone with dark tints on the front then slow down and expect the unexpected. simple
Never act with out knowing for a fact what the person is going to do. I'm never in a hurry anywhere so I'll happily sit at a junction till the guy indicating right has actually started to slow down to a reasonable speed. Never take indications at face value.How many times have you been waiting to pull out, and people turn in without indicating, or people are indicating and drive straight on!
... IT MAKES THINGS WORSE! As you have to be even more careful than you would otherwise. Also, in poor visibility/low light conditions it restricts the visual capacity of the driver in the car with the tints making more likely that they cause an accident especially at junctions.so what difference does having tints have? My point exactly

No it doesn't. You can still see very well out the car in low light conditions. You wouldn't notice this as you haven't tinted your own, but your assuming you can't see anything. I've got front tints as stated and I've not crashed into anyone at a junction, and I'm sure the majority of people on here with tinted fronts haven't either!
Another thing is if people did decide to stick very dark tints on the front, then surely they know they need to compensate for 'lack of visibility' with an increased sense of awareness and judgement, instead of driving as they were. I still believe that if people are going to pull out at a junction, then that's what they would do regardless of tints. The police etc only want front tints removed so they can see what you're up to, nothing to do about safety or visibility - It's perfectly fine for government cars to have limo all round.
You may not realise that tints make it alot harder to see inside the car, than the other way round
