First we need to define what a toning.Toning - a drawing of the surface of the glass of the car special materials that cause color change and reduce the light transmission properties of the glass.
What is toning and why so often it began to make drivers?There are several reasons.In most cases the owner of the vehicle said that a car with tinted windows looks "cooler" modern.Many thus try to protect themselves from the scorching summer and the bright winter sun.Some installation tinting want to protect themselves and their personal space from prying views.Another reason - a thin film, which is very often to apply and provides a kind of protection for the glass, preventing the formation of scratches and chips.In addition, through a darkened glass interior of the car burns less.
Whatever the reason, the fact remains.The glass becomes darker, and the driver sees through them the way much worse, especially at night.Therefore, traffic police imposes rather strict requirements for windows in the driver's field of vision: the windscreen must pass at least 75% of light.Given that the majority of modern cars are available from the conveyor to the already toned glasses of 20-30%, it becomes obvious that the front glass can not be set without any additional protection in order not to run into the penalty for toning.
requirements to the windows on the right and left side of the driver, a little softer, though still remains serious.Light transmission installed on them glasses should not be less than 70%.Accordingly, in order not to receive the punishment for shading can barely, barely noticeable darken them.
As for the rear windows - everything here is at the discretion of the driver.If desired, it can shut them impervious to light a black screen, or paint with colored paints.
only requirement - the glass should not be mirrored (the same applies to lateral and frontal).
most commonly used three kinds of shading:
- very popular special film, mainly due to the low price and the possibility of self-installation.It is worth mentioning that the punishment for toning does not depend on its color, but only on light transmission properties.Therefore, car owners can buy a multi-colored foil any shade: pink, smoky, green, and even dozens of other options that can perfectly complement the image of the car.In addition, if necessary, it can be removed without damage to the glass.
- Spray - is done only in special stores, is more expensive, but the life of his above (while the appearance of the film deteriorates after a year or two).
- Removable screens - sold as an accessory to the car and set if necessary.
What is the punishment for shading, not conforming to the requirements can be followed?The most common - it is fine.
five hundred rubles - that's what the penalty for toning the inspector may issue.However, this is not the greatest misfortune that can happen to own a car.Much more serious punishment for toning - the refusal of the insurance company payments in case of accident.And failure could legitimately.
On the other hand, perhaps the most severe punishment, waiting for the car owners that law does not apply tinting, and that all sides okleivayut window impermeable film - almost 100% guarantee of getting into an accident.Regulations that govern the traffic police, did not arise out of nowhere.When visibility is reduced almost in half, very easy to miss standing on the side, and suddenly released into the roadway or pedestrian to leave because of the turning machine.
