Why People Tint Their Car Windows There are some states in this country that are just miles after miles of open road. Montana, for example, has the longest state highway in the country. Highway 200 (MT 200) in the U.S. state of Montana is a route running east-west covering ring the entire state state. Utah’s State Route 24 is about 160 miles long. State Route 24 (SR-24) is a state highway in south central Utah which runs south from Salina through Sevier County then east through Wayne County and north east through Emery County.. Not bad for a state that is 84,000 square miles in total. But imagine having a job, say, as a truck driver or working for a package delivery company, that requires req you to be on the road many hours a day, day after day, week after week, and month after month. After a while, the idea of being able to drive comfortably in your car or truck gains significance. Same goes if you are retired or just want to take the RV V for long rides over the weekend or holidays. That’s where the concept of window tinting comes in.
The key term in window tinting is V Visible Light Transmission (VLT) which describes how much and what percentage of natural light can come through the natural-colored glass. Car window tinting in Utah has been allowed since 2005 when the State Legislature passed code 41-6-149, titled, Windshield and Windows Obstructions Reducing Visibility – Wipers – Prohibitions. To use the law’s exact terms, “a person rson may not operate a motor vehicle in which the windshield allows less than 70% light transmittance.” Front side windows must allow more than 43% of the natural light but there is no law on how dark back windows or rear window can be. There are many companies offering custom window tinting in Utah,, including California Audio (http://california-audio.com) offering window tinting in West Valley City.
