Avoid Tickets AB @avoidticketsAB

À police officer can issue a repair order for any defective part of your vehicle which includes window tint removal. If the repair order is ignored a $243 fine can be issued as well as the original offence which is usually $162 for a grand total of $405. A second offence is $243.

Only Manitoba and the Yukon allow legal front door tint in Western Canada. Ontario and Quebec allow front door tint in Eastern Canada. If you really want tint on your front door windows without the risk of a ticket you will have to move to one of those Provinces.

Too many people are hiding behind their tint to play with their phones or not wear their seat belt. Police have to see what you’re doing behind the wheel. Driving is not right it’s a privilege. If you’re breaking the law you need to be held accountable.

Tint shops know front door tint is illegal but they are out to make a buck. Unfortunately if you get stopped by the police or peace officers BUCKS is what you’ll turn over to the government unfortunately. If the tint shop didn’t tell you it was illegal get a refund.

Section 72(3) of the Vehicle Equipment Regulations states that no transparent translucent or opaque material can be applied to the front door windows or windshield. You can have limousine tint on the rear doors and rear window but zero tint beside or in front of the driver.

Folks stop getting tint installed on your vehicle front door windows and windshield! It’s illegal and always has been. Under section 65(1)(d) of the Traffic Safety Act it’s a $162 fine for operating a motor vehicle contrary to the vehicle equipment regulations.

I have my phone in a holder on my dash can I tap out a text because it’s not in my hand? No the law states no holding, viewing or manipulating a phone while operating a motor vehicle. $300 fine 3 demerit points. @CityofRedDeer

The insurance company considers a distracted driving offence as if it was a criminal conviction and they will punish you where it hurts…in your wallet! Is that text worth $3000 in premium surcharges? @cityofcalgary

Keep your phones out of your hands when driving folks. Did you know that if you get caught with your phone in your hand stopped at a traffic light your insurance company can slap a $1000 premium on your insurance policy for 3 years @CityofEdmonton
