Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

I have looked it up. I'm just worried about my tint and the view from interior rear view mirror can't see shit with the way it sits.

 

i don't think you are required to be able to see out of your rear window. look at how many work vans are on the road with no rear windows.

 

Rear windows can be painted black. As long as your front windows are 25 percent? I think that's what they changed it to. Or just roll the windows down before you get there

Chapter 4 - Inspection Procedures
04.20.00 Details Of Inspection

20.19 Mirror - Every motor vehicle shall be equipped with a mirror so located as to reflect to the driver a view of the highway for a distance of at least 200 feet to the rear of such motor vehicle.

1. Inspection Procedure
A. Inspect only one mirror.
1. Exterior Rearview Mirror: From the driver’s position, visually inspect exterior mirror for a clear and reasonably unobstructed view to the rear. Look for correct location and stable mounting.
2. Interior Rearview Mirror: From the driver’s position, visually inspect interior mirror for proper mounting, location, cracks, sharp edges, and ease of adjustment.

2. Inspect for and reject if:
A. Mirror does not provide the driver with a clear view to the rear of 200 feet.
B. Vehicle is not equipped with at least one mirror.
C. Mirror offers unsafe interference with driver’s forward vision.
D. Reflective surface of mirror is cracked, broken, peeled, tarnished, or has sharp edges.
E. Mirror is not mounted securely to prevent swing or excessive vibration unless the vehicle is equipped with another mirror which meets requirements.

NOTE: An inside mirror would meet all the above requirements. If the vehicle is equipped with more than one mirror, only one, either inside or outside, needs to meet all requirements.

 

That'swhy we have side mmirrors

 

As long as your exterior mirrors are there and aimed reasonably correctly you should be good. As for the tint, I have not heard of an inspection getting flagged for tint, think they usually leave that for the LEOs, but someone can chime in if they have. You could also ask them up front if the tint would be any issue, most will give you a look-see before you are charged.

 

Cmon man, just take the truck to a shady shop and tell them to inspect it

 

I really wish I'd see more people getting pulled over for tinted head/tail lights.

 

needs to happen .. for real. Some damn kids in Baytown tint them so dark you can't even tell when they hit their brakes

 

Oldest son wanted to tint his taillights like a friend of his. Told him no, too dark. He settled for lighter shade, but was not happy. Other son wanted to put an HID bulb kit into his reflector bowl HLs, wouldn't let that happen either. Again, not happy. Oh well.....

 

I can only wait to see what my future kid will want to derp up at the time

 

I'm the other way. 45 and cypresswood

 

So, what's happened to Rich? He decide that he is going to get his abuse elsewhere, and not allow us the pleasure?

 

I got them tested and front are 14 so I'm going to pull the fuse

 

Let him do the hid! That way I can show him my rear led pods anytime mod! Lol

 

Rich seems to be only responding to text now

 

Take away their toys.

 

Rich right now

 

So I got a call today that the taco is fixed. Also got awarded with carnage of the month by somehow making a Detroit locker grenade without even going off road lol. $600 bill and back to open diff life... Wooohhh
