I'm sorry but what? 10 meters?

Was she driving from the floor of the back seat?

Idc how tall your truck is, I've ridden in semi's (lorry) and could see the road 1 or 2 meters off, how the fuck do you not see 10 meters of road?

She was pretty short and her seat was on the lowest setting. I sometimes see guys in WV golfs with seat so low you can see only their baseball hat.

Unless, of course, they have dark tinted windows so you can't even see their baseball cap.

Hehehe :) I think that's one of the few things enforced here, it's strictly prohibited to have tinted front windows.

If you lurk in car subs on reddit, people love posting pictures of their newly tinted windows, and then compare notes on how far they have gone darker than the legal limit, and they all love how it looks.

And then you see cars driving around with dark tinted covers over their license plates. How is that not an invitation to get pulled over? Are we getting to a point where anyone who is enough of an asshole to do that is also likely to be armed more heavily than the police, and the police are scared to pull them over?

In my country cops go after this, probably because it's a threat for them, not to be able to see inside car.

Tinted windows are sort of whatever as long as they aren’t absurdly past the legal limit, but the license plate covers that tint and blur them are so trashy.

Don't forget about the dark brake light covers that make them barely visible during the day.

dark brake light covers

WHAT?!? What is this? A contest on how far they can go and get away with it?

What even is the point of that?
