Benefits of toning
Tinted windows have many advantages. Every year, drivers increasingly prefer to darken the windows of their car. Particularly in demand this kind of tuning in the summer. It protects the car interior from overheating. It's no secret that seats heat up from high temperatures, and there is a possibility that plastic cases of built-in appliances can crack. Thanks to toning, the car interior will retain its original appearance for as long as possible.
Tinting the windows of the car will hide from strangers everything that happens inside. This will protect your personal belongings, which are in the car, from theft. It is especially difficult for the scammer to consider in the salon a black purse or bag.
Typically, the rear windows of the car are made of tempered glass. With a strong impact, they fly into small parts and can cause serious injury to the passenger. Tinted rear window will significantly reduce the risk of injury. Thanks to this tuning, with a strong impact, the fragments will remain on the film.
Especially popular is armored toning. It keeps the car warm, and also protects the glass from bumps and damages.
Tinted glass and its drawbacks
Front tinting of windows brings discomfort to the driver in the winter season. This is one of its main drawbacks. With toning, visibility is significantly reduced. It prevents such tuning and the motorists who ride behind you. Increased risk of collision.
The film for toning can be glued poorly. Because of this, bubbles, cracks or scratches can form on the glass. These shortcomings may occur several days after the application of the film. Poor-quality material or incorrect sticking can cause premature replacement of the glass.

Avoid penalty fines will help toning GOST. "Chameleon" is a film that has the property of automatically changing the light transmittance depending on the level of illumination. Is it allowed?
Many motorists believe that the film "Chameleon" does not comply with GOST. However, this opinion is erroneous. Tinted windshields should have a light transmission of at least 70%. This indicator allows you to provide a free overview on the road. With the correct selection of the film "Chameleon" it will not bring the driver discomfort and will not cause penalty penalties.
The film "Chameleon" of any kind has a mirror effect. However, its level is not standardized. In the event that a traffic police officer makes a protocol to the driver because of excessive specularity, the motorist can sue for it and prove his innocence.
Setting the tint "Chameleon" has a lot of nuances. It is difficult to apply it to the glass. If the master overheats the film in some places, it will irrevocably change color. It is for this reason that it is necessary to trust tinting only to a highly qualified and experienced specialist. Any errors will be visible to the naked eye. To solve the problem will have to completely change the glass. The cost of installing a film that automatically changes color, ranges from 10 thousand rubles.

The density of the selected material directly affects the level of light transmission in the machine. GOST on toning has a lot of nuances. Their non-compliance can not only turn out to be a fine.

The traffic police carefully monitors the implementation of the draft laws. In order not to be deceived, study the information that is provided in our article.
In the event that you stopped a traffic police officer and, without taking measurements, says that your car has a prohibited toning, you can safely go on. The excess of the norm can only be established by means of a special device.
If the traffic police officer has a special device, be sure to note whether he has a seal and an individual number on the body. In the event that the thickness of the windows on your car exceeds 7.5 millimeters, pay attention to the name of the measuring device. To measure the tint on your machine you can only use the device BLIC +. The employee of the State Road Traffic Inspectorate has no right to make measurements by another device.

Penalties
GOST for toning provides for penalties for violation of norms. At the end of last year, the Government of the Russian Federation considered amendments to the draft law. They came into force in 2016. Thanks to the amendments, the amount of the first fine increased to 1500 rubles. In the event that the unscrupulous driver ignores the previous remark, he will have to pay 5 thousand Russian rubles. Penalty will be issued within 12 months after the violation. Deprivation of a driving license is possible for up to 90 days.
What is the reason for the changes in the draft law?
Amendments to the bill on toning were adopted not accidentally. This is due to the fact that recently the number of violators has increased. Employees of the traffic police claim that the growth in the number of unscrupulous drivers is due to the fact that recently it has been forbidden to take car plates for the discrepancy of toning.
The growth of the offenders was also related to the fact that the fine imposed by the old bill was not a serious sum for most drivers. Over the first half of last year, more than 500,000 protocols were issued. The greatest number of violations was recorded in Moscow. There, for the first quarter, 60,000 fines were issued for excessive tinting.

The inspector can once again offer to go to the traffic police to determine the level of toning. However, the driver may not respond to the words of the traffic police officer and go on.
Who can measure the degree of tinted glass?
Human rights activists argue that only a specially trained person, namely the state inspector of technical supervision, has the right to measure the level of glass transmittance. However, the amendments that came into force last year say that any traffic police officer can now check the degree of toning. To do this, he must have a special device with him, which has an individual number, and is also included in the State Register. It is also necessary to pay attention to the presence of a seal. If it is missing, then the inspector has no right to measure the level of light transmission in your car.
