perscription tint question

[ryanjoachim]

so my mom went to the doctor today and got a perscription for window tint because she has an eye diesease. question is once she gets the tint on and say a cop pulls her over can she get a ticket even though she has written proof from a doctor that she is aloud to have the tint? dumb question maybe but i just want to be sure. Also im getting tint on my car which is actually my moms if i drive the car and show proof that this is my moms car im just driving it would i get a ticket?

A prescription is what I think you are trying to describe.What % is she going to get and what are your state laws?If she got illegal tint,she needs to carry the proof from the doctor in the car.Make several copies.IMO,if you are driving it it can go either way as far as getting ticketed though.Its kind of like someone using anothers handicapped placard.

shes going 20% which is illegal but like i said thats why she got the perscription for it. 35% is legal but i dont see really why she would get introuble if she has a perscription for it but i thought id get other oppinions first.

According to the law as written there doesn't appear to be a problem. You can even drive her in her car with the illegal tint as long as she is with you and she has her doctors prescription with her. the way I read it however, is that you cannot drive her car by yourself with the illegal tint without risking a ticket.
