Lincoln Police say their officers have begun noticing more vehicles with window tint on windshields “Lincoln city ordinance states no glass shall be obscured to such an extent so that visibility to the operator is impaired or the ability to see inside the vehicle is substantially impaired,” says Public Information Manager Erika Thomas.
She says any driver in violation of the ordinance will be subject to a $25 fine. “You are responsible for your vehicle being legal to drive, not those installing your window tint,” Thomas says. ” This is a safety issue as window tint greatly hinders your ability to see dangers, obstacles or other drivers, especially at night.”
She says it’s also difficult for other drivers to see if you’re looking at them or notice them at an intersection. “Let’s all work together to keep Lincoln streets safe by keeping your view clear.”
