What it does
Current law prohibits a person from operating on the highway a motor vehicle that is equipped with a front windshield, side window, or sidewing (window) which is excessively dark or reflective such that it is difficult for a person outside the motor vehicle to see into the motor vehicle through the window. By administrative rule, the department of transportation (DOT) defines “excessively dark or reflective” to mean that the window does not meet a minimum standard of transparency of percent light transmittance.
