I've noticed in the last five years or so a marked increase in drivers running red lights in my town (Swarthmore, Pennsylvania) and that many of the vehicles have illegal levels of window tinting. I'm wondering, is it that aggressive (male) drivers are likely to get illegal tinting ... or is it that the tinting induces lawlessness via the anonymity it provides? Or are both factors? And then there's the boring explanation, that people simply can't see the lights through the tinting. #cars #driving #tint #tinting #windows #safety #traffic #pennsylvania #vehicles #trucks #psychology
