You can get a doctor's note to have a tinted windshield and front windows. You can also get to know your inspector and things work out.

Yup. My partner suffers from a rare eye condition that makes sunlight physically painful. There are medically approved waivers in all family cars in case we get pulled over for the tint.

And if you get pulled over, and don't have that state medical exception, both you AND the state inspection station get in trouble for it.

It's always "applied after inspection".

That’s not what you think it is. That allows an EXTREMELY slight tint, anything that’s noticeably darker is illegal.

State law doesn't have a requirement for specific tint levels under a Medical Waiver. They're only good for two years. https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/XXI/266/266-61-a.htm

Ooooooh nice, it used to specify a max tint of something like 70%. It’s why I never bothered tinting. I wonder when that changed. Thanks for the info!

The front windows and windshield cannot be aftermarket tinted at all in NH. The rear windows have to be no more than 30% light diffusion.

That’s not true. 6” strip can be applied to the windshield. Non reflective of 35%. Front windows can also be tinted to 70 percent.

If that's true about the front windows then that's a huge change and it must have been made in the last 3 years. I was at inspection service stations for 30 years and you were never allowed to have front window tint in New Hampshire

a 70% tint looks clear to the naked eye. Most vehicles come stock from the factory with a minimum of 70%. It blocks UV.
zeus6793 t1_jdxa5ow wrote
That is not correct. 70% diffusion is WAY off.

70% is pretty clear.
Unless it's labeled oddly and it's a 30% tint

getting the waiver is non-trivial, sadly.

Never thought about this as an option. I suffered an eye injury to my right eye and even midday cloudy weather is too much sometimes. You can catch me walking around with only one eye open pretty often

I get migraines so wear sunglasses all the time when in my car. Wouldn't that be a better fix than a doctor getting involved. I don't get it. Please explain.
sndtech t1_jdog36e wrote
It's another option for people who need it. What if they don't have ears to hold up sunglasses?

As stupid as free staters are, mocking the idea of rights in general because some people want to tint their own car's windows, which is legal in most other states, is just a very strange take
