Tints

The reason you're not supposed to tint the front windshield is because if (for whatever reason) you or someone else goes through the windshield, the glass will break apart instead of staying together (which is what caused a lot of decapitations). That's why it's extremely easy to break the glass from the inside of the car, but VERY difficult to break it from the outside.

I don't want to go through my windshield with or without tint, so I'll keep on wearing the seatbelt.
Not going through windshield = Plan "A"

That sounds like a plan!

I'm planning on doing 30% all around and 60% on the front windshield. Ceramic Huper Optik is awesome.
