- This law was first passed at a time when contact paper type
- DIY tinted window kits were popular. These kits were usually
- installed incorectly, causing blistering and air bubbles to the
- extent that drivers could not see out well enough to drive safely.
- At around the same time, it was "trendy" on some types of custom
- cars to tint the windows so dark as to make night driving hazardous.
- This was becoming a major cause of accidents on "cruse night".
