Because once you start letting a "Clear" film on, i can be a little darker, & darker, etc. & When Mr Pleecy says "That window is tinted darker than what it should be" & you say, "The tint shop did it" or "my mate did it" & "I dont know what the legalities are" You still get it properly tested, & a nice fine & have it ripped off your window.

What I am saying is with things like this, people stretch the boundaries, then stretch a little more, a bit more. It becomes very grey, very wide spread very quickly. So they just shut it down. No tint. No overlay. Full stop. I mean how many cars have you seen with tint that is clearly above the legal limit?

I'm confused...
My Thoughts exactly. I thought it would be common sense why it could not be applied to the front window. Besides, sometimes a slight tinit with the sun at the right angle could be a bit on the blinding side for Trucks, Busses, High 4wd, or even just normal cars on the side & rear windows. Imagine it on every 3rd car as it went past......

EH? So the police are looking in the front window when they pull the lights on behind you?? & If you mean any ambient light such as street, or passing cars, that reflects through the front window to the back, well that's not much help for cars that have a tinted rear window, or window louvre, or both.
