Halton Police - Free Car Inspection March 28!

[GreyGhost]

Is that the cop with the black extended-cab Ram pickup with black steel wheels with chrome center-caps, and tinted windows?

(Tell him to write himself a ticket for that tint. LOL)

Interesting. Ontario actually has objective tint limits now (for vehicles 2017 and newer). Nothing aftermarket on windshields, 30% on front side windows, no limit behind front seats. The law is still grey (substantially obscure) but apparently police are leaning on the safety standards (8-9.g) to set the 30% limit.

Police have repeatedly stated that a main cause for road violence is distracted driving.

Ugh I don't like him

He picks on modified cars but refuses to equally pick on motorcycles

If you show up with your car to this event, you've earned your own 'dummy' badge.

Pre-safety inspection for a vehicle you are planning on selling? Bring your own trailer and you get it looked over for free with little downside.

I think it’ll be below the limit. More cops than attendees.

Just a glorified or justified way to boost the overtime

This is where your hard earn tax dollar is going. Cops having BBQ and getting paid OT in the parking lot.
Speak up Halton!

But think of the children! This is for safety!

I still wouldn't do it. To a previous posters comment as the officers discretion may not be the same as the inspectors at the time of stop.

I didn't get my boat. The mast had termites.

I don't like tinted windows at all. It's a safety issue. If I can see through your window to what's in front of you, it makes both of us safer.

I love tinted windows. First thing I ever do on any car I buy. I negotiated the tints into the Volt for tomorrow.

They wanted to go 20% or so in the back but I want the lightest tint all around. Don’t like the dark as night.

My cousins car had such dark tint on the front windows he sometimes had to roll down the window to check for pedestrians.

And how do you haul your failed car back home after putting it on the trailer you hauled there with that car?

Agreed but what do you do when you’re behind a truck or suv?

I much prefer to be able to see beyond the vehicle in front me which is why I usually move elsewhere when behind a larger vehicle but I don’t expect people to not get tints for that.

I drive a boring car that is completely stock and I still wouldn't do it. You have very little you could possibly gain

 

[ToSlow]

They don’t only have black trucks

I just seen a white f150 on the 407 and it wasn’t a mto

The spectator factor: More viewers than participants.

 

[nobbie48]

I wonder how many ricers will show up to see if there is still room for added mods.

Drove by him in his cubby hole on Cedar Springs by the Dakota Bridge @ 59 kmh yesterday. Couldn't tell if I was getting the Evil Eye on account of the tint.
