***Warning*** Tinted Tail Lights Suck!!!

Can someone tell me the purpose of tinted tail lights?!?!?!  Seriously what is the point of them? 


Are we concerned about UV exposure to our little warning lights? 

Are your tail lights going to get a sunburn?

Well I have news for you...1) They are already red and 2) I am fairly certain they cannot get a sunburn!

You are just a Douche Nozzle!  Because of your tinted tail lights I almost died...at the very least I had the beginnings of a heart attack.  

In case you weren't aware tint tends to DARKEN things.  A sort of blocking of the light.  In normal use on WINDOWS it keeps the interior of your vehicle cooler when sitting out in the baking sun because it absorbs or reflects the light.  Also, you can't really see INTO the vehicle, did you hear that...you can't really see THROUGH it. When applied to tail lights it causes other driver on the road to develop a spontaneous case of  Tourette's and begin driving like they are playing Mario Kart. 

Let me ask you a question...if you cannot see into a car window with tint, what makes you think I can see your brake lights when they are TINTED?!?!?  I am not a tailgater.  I travel a safe distance from other vehicles on the road.  But when you are going 70 MPH and cannot see someones brake lights until you are on top of them, stopping is quite difficult!  Of course I am probably one of the only drivers in Louisiana that travels a safe distance so when I slam on my brakes to avoid running through your tailgate it puts me at a greater risk at being run over by the 4x4 Dually behind me.  Thankfully said Dually had the sense to swerve onto the shoulder just as I came to a stop.  But the cars behind us looked like they were doing a synchronized driving routine as they darted in various directions to avoid hitting any of us.  I seriously thought this is going to suck balls but luckily no one wrecked.  The funny thing is I am fairly certain Douche Nozzle had no idea he was the cause of all this ruckus. 

Traffic started moving again and tinted tail lights decided he needed to get over to exit, so he put on his blinker. Under normal circumstances this would have alerted the driver in right lane that he indeed needed to get over but since he has sun protection on his tail lights the driver next to me couldn't see the blinker.  Honestly I barely saw it.  I only noticed because I was looking closely since I almost hit him.  So Sir Douche started getting over not realizing the other driver didn't know he wanted to which caused another brake slamming session.  I was able to swerve to the left to avoid hitting him yet again and blew past him.  I was just thankful to be away from that road hazard. 

So I seriously want to know...what is the point of the tinted tail lights?  Aside from making driving more interesting for those around you.
