So in Ontario, Canada, the law for tinting states:
"whereby the surface of the windshield or any side window to the left or right of the driver cannot be coated with any colour spray or other colour coating in such a manner as to obstruct the driver’s view of the roadway, or obscure the view from outside to the interior of the motor vehicle"
O.K. So there is no specified percentage. This is one of those "leave it to the officer's discretion" laws. Now I have had tint on my Grey Lincoln (2002) which was 20% front doors, 5% rear doors/back windows and not once was stopped for it in 4 years. I have had police cruisers pull up beside me at a Red light, no issues.
The tint really helped my eyes from the light. I find myself a bit sensitive to the sun. I also enjoyed the cooler interior temperatures. However time has come to tint my 05 Beige/Gold LS, and I wanted darker for the front - something around 15% or 10%.
I have searched online vigorously for any exemptions to the tint law such as medical notes from a doctor, but I can't find anything under Ontario law.
Does anyone know if a Doctors Note, presented to an officer would be valid?
I have read online that apparently police are less prone to hurassing drivers of classy or refined vehicles, and hurass more of the mustang/civic drivers.
