| ![]() Would front windscreen films placed on the side windows be effective in reducing the burning sensation on ones hands while driving under the sun? Has anyone tried it? And what would be the cost? I'm quite sure the cops would not stop you as the front windscreen films are transparent. Need to do something about the heat and its only going to become worse with summer round the corner. |

They should have implemented the rules in public transport vehicles like buses and also make it a point for all the public transport vehicles to have the lights ON after dusk. Why dont the judiciary make honest and sincere efforts to clear up the cases lying in their bins since ages? rather than wasting their time for such petty and ridiculous PILs. We need to re-look at almost all our rules/acts be it the Motor Vehicle act or the Indian Penal Code. The MV act was made up long back when our carriageways were single small roads where the average speeds were around 40 or 50 KMPH. Now we have expressways with multiple lanes and vehicles capable of much higher speeds. Let the SC or the cops make it mandatory and implement for all the slow moving trucks and buses NOT TO drive on the right most lane in a multi lane carriageway. We need the cops or the authorities to take strict actions against such HT vehicles breaking down on the right most lanes. Take action on people who fleece the citizens by collecting tolls on highways when there is no alternative routes for the public who pays "lifetime" tax on the vehicle they buy which is supposed to be used to maintain the roads. We talk a lot about "global warming" "energy conservation" "energy saved is energy generated" many such slogans we hear daily. Does the SC know that sun films makes the cooling inside the car more efficient if the right sun films are used (that allows visible light and has thermal protection) which increases the fuel efficiency? Well, the Government is only interested in taxing the citizens more by increasing the fuel prices (every increase in fuel price brings more money into the treasury as taxes). When Diesel cars are more fuel efficient than the petrol cars, diesel cars get taxed more. We continue to solve the wrong problems and we continue to ignore the actual problem to solve wrong problems. ![]() And we call ourselves a "developing nation" or "a nation that wants to be an economic super power" We need leaders who has proper vision and not with myopic vision. ![]() | |

| ![]() The Supreme courts direction is definitely myopic. I see a steady rise of judicial activism. There is a thin line between judicial activism and judicial over-reach. In the specific case of sun-film; Honorable SC has transgressed on the domain of the executive/legislature and gone into framing of laws. Even though the intention might be well-conceived; I have my reservations for this type of activism: * The judges are nominated and not elected by the citizens directly. Making laws and transgressing the executive weakens a democracy. * The judges are qualified in interpreting laws and not forming laws;and due-diligence is not carried out when making such laws by the courts. For ex: the sweeping and arbitrary directions by SC on river-linking project. * Judicial over-reach may set it up in confrontation with the executive. Not good signs for a democracy. Even though the govt has many misgivings; it should not be a precedent to judicial over-reach. Please look at Pakistan and the conflicts between judiciary/executive which has seriously undermined the country. |

| ![]() Not a Legal Alternative, but this is what I do. The moment I see the cops checking , my four fingers are rushed to press all four power windows. The window goes down in an instant and by the time I pass the cops, all my windows are down. The only difficulty is that you need to spot the cops at least 50-100 mts before. If they stop you and go for a re-check, then you would need to shell out the money. I know this is not a practical solution and may not work at all times.But whats the harm in trying. It has saved me $$ about 5 times till date. |

| ![]() How much difficult to make Photo-black/Photo-gray kind of glass that we get in eye glasses. It will be very useful, day time dark and night time visibility would be very nice. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() What's the status of sun film removal drive in Chandigarh? Can I take a car there which has 50% visibility sun films? or rules are as strict as in Delhi/NCR? |

| ![]() I think the cops are becoming very aggressive about sun films. I saw a cop run his fingers at the edge of a window he suspected. So I'm thinking films of even 100% transparency are not going to be tolerated, at least in Delhi. The installers must be careful in installing them till the edge, unlike the practice earlier where the film was 3 to 4 mm away, and absolutely no joints. |

| ![]() There are electronic glass transparency control systems which we may install in our vehicles. These consist of a thin film stuck on to the glass and with a remote control once can alter the transparency. So when parked or in extreme sunny weather, we can set it to a dark shade while just before a copy we may switch it OFF! The only issue is the cost. This solution comes at about a lac INR. |

The black rectangular sun shades that you can stick to glasses using vacuum cups are probably more legal than this since you can use them while parking in the sun and remove them while driving. | |
