It doesn’t mention the %age of tint. According to my info, there is gender-bias in it, vehicles with male owners can have 50% light-blocking tint while those under female names can have 70% blocking/30% transmitting (female privilege).

There are certain merits of heat-rejection window tints if they are not jet-black. 30 to 70% blockage provides great sun protection which means less glare and the end result is road safety. It helps with light-triggered migraines and prevents skin cancer. In the long term, it is sunlight that causes cataracts through protein breakdown in the eye. Cataract is a long-drawn progression disease and doctors don’t operate it immediately, they wait for a long time for it to mature. Which means there are lots of drivers on the road which are driving partially blind! Hence tints and shade band https://carspiritpk.com/changan-unveils-new-yida-sedan-in-china/#comment-13330 are much necessary these days!

I wish a suitable amount of tint also becomes factory-standard in Pakistan. Jet black is detrimental to road safety since it completely blocks the view through the vehicle ahead of you, but orphaned JDM vehicles which come with privacy glass are anyway allowed on the roads so the same amount of light transmittance through tint paper or factory-fitted privacy glass in locally assembled vehicles must be allowed.
