Tinted glass in your car makes you look cool, and keeps the sun out. However, you can get into big trouble if you use tinted glass without a permit.

1. What is tinted permit?
In Nigeria, and indeed in many parts of the world, it is common to see cars with darkened windows, which prevent the sunlight from entering, and limit what an outsider sees of the interior of the car. Vehicle users sometimes prefer to have the windows and windscreens of their cars and other vehicles so shaded for a number of reasons. Tinted glass make the driving experience pleasurable to these drivers.

This condition of dimmed car windows, which cuts down visibility into the car, is known as glass tint. In Nigeria, for a number of official reasons, vehicle owners require an official tint permit in order to drive a car with tinted glass legally.

The laws regulating motor vehicle ownership and use in Nigeria make it mandatory for all car users with tinted windows to have a permit to do so. A failure to get a permit before using tinted windows on your vehicle is a serious offence in Nigeria. Infringement can lead to severe punishments. This guide from Naijauto.com will give you a complete look at tinted permits for cars and how to get one legally.

2. Benefits of tinted car glass and windows
As mentioned above, having tinted glass in cars and other vehicles is a popular trend in Nigeria and even outside the country. Most tinted glass vehicles come with factory fitted glass, though you can also have tints added in an auto-workshop. Car owners and users will usually seek to get tinted glass in their vehicles for the following reasons:

2.1. Privacy:
People are very particular about their privacy. When driving a car, especially in populated city centers such as Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt, a commuter may face several hours in traffic. At such instances, tinted windows and glass secure a degree of privacy.

2.2. Security:
Security concerns are also a strong reason for getting tinted glass for your vehicle. The driver, passengers and any items of value in the vehicle tend to enjoy an extra degree of security if they are partially or totally hidden from prying eyes. It is an often quoted security advice to desist from keeping valuables in a parked car in order to avoid a break in. Tinted glass makes this preventive measure unnecessary as potential violators can’t see into the car. Also, in Nigeria, many public officials as a rule have tinted glass on official vehicles that convey them around.

2.3. Reinforcement of windows and glass:
The glass tinting process serves to fractionally make the glass and windows thicker. This reinforces the glass, making it much less likely to break on impact. Sometimes, a polythene material is used for sealing/tinting the glass, making it much safer in case of breakage as it prevents splintering.

2.4. Reduction of sunlight and heat:
Although this benefit is only applicable during the day, it is still a much desired benefit, especially in warm climates like Nigeria. You can achieve relative coolness on a hot, sunny day even without the use of the car’s air-conditioning system if you have tinted glass installed. Part of this benefit is also the blocking of potentially harmful ultra violet rays from the sun.
