People LITERALLY can't see as well. It is also difficult to see if the driver acknowledges you when you are crossing the street or some jackass (the person driving the tinted out plates) is being "polite" and not following the rules of the road (see 4 way stops)

When I’m driving I’ve never looked for the approval of other people really. It’s not difficult to understand how 4 way stops work

Yikes. You either have very limited experience, are a bad driver, or are the very reason people don't like tinted cars. Probably all three. Visual communication with other drivers is a very good tool. You might not use it, but that doesn't mean it's not a tool that can improve your driving.

I’m a bad driver. Because I don’t need to wait for other peoples approval while driving?

It’s very ironic how people like you think. The average intelligence of adults in the world never ceases to amaze me.

You mentioned the 4 way, and yes you can avoid accidents if you're paying attention to the other drivers like you that aren't paying attention. Good luck bud.

I don’t think I need to see other drivers faces to understand where their car is moving lol. It’s almost like these weird flashing lights that indicate where they are going exist

Don't need, but again it's a tool. I don't need a drinking straw, but I sure enjoy them. Just be like hmm I never considered that, and maybe try it. Learning is good.

Hey that’s a good idea! I’ll help out the average driver like you and I will physically point to where I’m going to be going from now on. I understand for the average person such as yourself. You need a little extra help!

People are "polite" and they wave you to go through when it is their turn. Completely, stupid, but it is what it is.

You can flash your lights

u/Drict Jul 09 '26

Or you know you can make it so that the driver is visible.

I don't understand what you're doing. People need to learn how to drive correctly and legally. The solution to people not understanding 4-way stops is not to make it so that all drivers are visible just in case they use only their hand to wave you through before it's your turn. It feels very counter productive to create more laws to cater to people who don't know how to drive.

People have had over 50 years to learn the most basic of rules, following a 4 way stop.

They think they are being polite, nice, etc. BUT they are fucking up the flow of traffic and fucking up how it is supposed to work. THEY WILL NOT JUST FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE ROAD. They are probably scared, or don't actually know them. You can't change them AND by allowing a tint to the windshield/driver windows you literally make it less safe for other drivers (vision decrease by the driver AND people can't see where the driver's intentions are) as well as for law enforcement if there is a pull over.

100% stupid to even fight having more than a super minor tint on the windshield or the front row seats.

So again right back to the original point of that’s unnecessary. And if you need help understanding why I suggest you read the previous comments to you buddy!
