Delaware Driver Education State Practice Test

Which windows are allowed to be tinted on a vehicle?

1. Front windshield

2. Front driver seat

3. Passenger seat

4. Back windows

The correct answer is: Back windows

The correct answer identifies that back windows of a vehicle are allowed to have window tinting. This is in accordance with most state regulations, including those in Delaware, which typically impose fewer restrictions on the tinting of the rear side windows and the back window compared to the front windows. The primary concern with tinted windows on the front of the vehicle, including the front windshield and the front driver seat, is visibility and safety. These areas require higher transparency levels to ensure that the driver has a clear view of the road and surrounding environment. Tints that are too dark in these areas can obstruct a driver's vision and can lead to reduced safety on the roads, which is why they are more heavily regulated. Passenger seat windows may allow some tinting, depending on specific regulations that vary by state, but they often do not have the same allowances as the back windows. Overall, the back windows have the most flexibility with regard to tinting, which is why they are considered permissible compared to the other options presented.
