I think if the police can't see through the glass when they walk up to the car, they should be allowed to break it out! One of those plunger guns that, when placed against the glass, blows it to a smithereens!

Why not just ammend the law so that you must open the window and turn on the dome light if you are stopped? Isn't that the first thing you are supposed to do anyway?
We already have a law in PA that says your headlights must be on whenever the wipers are.

Fortunately, I've never been stopped in CA. So I can't speak for the strictness of the rules here. However, I know that FL has rules and they do enforce them. I believe the % grade tinting limits they had set for cars was something like 20% rear of the driver and 35% on the driver and passenger windows. I was stopped at night one time (while driving a pick up with tinted windows), but I can't recall what for. My windows were legally tinted, but the curvature of the rear window only produced glare for the officers, and my dome light was too weak to compete with the spotlight the put on me. They were extra careful and made me stick my hands out the window before opening the door and getting out of the truck before they'd even approach me.
Scott, FL has the same law concerning wipers and headlights. Since I learned to drive there it's still habit for me to turn on the headlights when ever I turn on my wipers, reguardless of how much light is available out there. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

We have that one also - along with the left lane of a divided 4 lane highway is used only for overtaking, passing, or turning left within 100 feet.
Neither are enforced!

I don't think CA has a wipers + headlights law... I see far too many people in the rain with lights off... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I believe you are correct - as nannyish as Kalifornia is about some things (like emissions) you'd think they'd be all over that one. But I guess I shouldn't be too shocked - I believe this state is the only one in the Union that doesn’t mandate a safety inspection to re-register.
Sacramento has always been pretty confused about what to make a fuss over and what not to.

Ya know, on other thing I noticed when I took written my CA license test. Lane choice while turning is only *recommended* that you enter the same lane you left. For example, it's only recommended that you enter the left lane when you turn left and only recommended that you enter the right lane when you turn right.
If memory serve me right, it was a law in FL... all left turns entered the left lane and all right turns entered the right lane. I mean if you turned right and entered the left lane before completing the turn you could be cited for it.
Maybe that's why traffic at intersections seems to flow better (in my mind) in FL?
