Clear "tint" for windscreen

Unfortunately there are those who will tint your screen as dark as 35% here on the Gold Coast. This is a disaster waiting to happen as you cannot see clearly out of the screen on a clear night let alone a rainy night.

Sooner or later someone will be seriously harmed by this practice so think first before you do something you may regret later.

I agree proper tinting of the screen is insanely stupid (IMO)
The only reason why I'd want the clear film is because its perfectly clear, thus not presenting a safety hazard at all, and the obvious plus point of reducing heat in the car.
I'm pretty sure the rules and regs were written to stop dark film being applied.
They are also out of date and not up to speed with new tech.
If the film is optically clear and can be proved so, I don't see any possible reason why any authority would object to it.
How do you get products ADR approved ?
Surely this is a product most of us would want ?

Just to keep the thread on topic.
This IS NOT about a dark film "tint". It has no darkness to it. It's CLEAR.
I'll make some calls tomorrow and get some proper answers.
For people to accept this is "illegal" and not question "Why" ? seems silly to me.
