Tinting a vehicle’s windows has all sorts of benefits. But would you believe that it can have a positive contribution to unwanted road rage?
No, it’s not that it hides that other driver from seeing you flip them the bird (although, hang on…). Instead, there are many subtle reasons why window tint can play a little part in helping keep tempers stable when you’re behind the wheel.
Intrigued? We thought you might be. Read on to discover what we’re talking about.
Tinted windows can dramatically increase a car’s desirability. Not only to you, as the owner/driver, but also to other road users. Really dark windows—such as those on limos and VIP vehicles—make people wonder who might be sitting behind them. Such thoughts, in general, supersede any anger we might be feeling, instead replacing it with a sense of curiosity.
Okay, okay… We know that this isn’t always the case. But you’re always going to get the (insert word of your choice, but we’re going to go with “person”) to whom this doesn’t apply. But for most of us—and yes, this includes the penchant for road rage that, apparently, a large proportion of drivers are prone to—don’t see tinted windows as a red flag.
The real way that tinted windows might help reduce road rage applies more to the driver—yep, that’s you—than anyone else. An AAA study carried out some years ago showed that over 8 million US drivers had engaged in some kind of extreme road rage. This included deliberately ramming another vehicle with their car or getting out to verbally or physically confront another driver (WTF??)
This craziness aside, we’ll bet there have been times when you’ve shouted, sworn at, or honked at another driver when they’ve done something you’ve considered to be unwise.
This is where tinted windows can help. Not only do they enhance the look of your ride, but they have some pretty good physical attributes too. For instance, the ability to reduce the temperature inside the vehicle can be hugely advantageous in helping you keep your cool when you’ve been cut up by another driver.
When you love your car, making it a haven to enjoy will also influence your mood as you cruise. The expense of owning and running a vehicle means that it makes perfect sense to spend a little cash to make it just right, and tinted windows can be a wonderful addition that truly makes your car a joy to drive.
Okay, so maybe there isn’t a whole bunch of research and studies that we can quote to prove the vehicle tint-road rage link, but we think you’ll agree that it’s hugely positive to have a car space that you love.
