Visibility at Night

Night-time visibility is the safety consideration behind the LTA's 70% windscreen VLT rule — heavily tinted windscreens dramatically reduce driver vision in low-light conditions.

Headlights provide a fraction of daylight illumination. A windscreen tinted to 50% VLT would cut the driver's perceived light by half on top of that — dangerous on dark country roads or during rain.

The LTA's 70% rule is engineered around safe night visibility for the average driver. Going darker, even with high-quality clear-IR films, risks both compliance failure and real safety reduction.

For Singapore drivers worried about heat without losing night vision, clear-IR films like Platinum99 Plus are the right answer — high VLT, low darkness, excellent IR rejection.
