I saw a car with rear light tinted black. it look very nice. I knw there are some law regulating tinting of window glass. but for rear light any law? is it legal? that tinted light not obstructing visibilty of red light when switched on.
Accha: haha bro you went down a totally different street to the one I'm in; don't make it about beautiful women and low income workers mate; that's not even what i was talking about; my mom when i had her, used to often get down from her car and give some of her colder grocery shopping to the construction workers she saw working in the heat on the roads and would send us kids to hand over food/iftar to the workers and policemen below the building. She used to say that those hard working blue collared men who sweat for their kids by day and cry for their wives by night are more real and respectable men than any hot hunk in his supercar.
So I've been taught well to love and cherish all levels of society and people as my fellow humans and brothers and to be grateful to Allah for my lot in life. I'd much rather prefer a big hearted poor man's company over a heartless rich man. And there's sadly no women at all in my life and i have no one to feel possessive/protective of. Just a lone ranger on his own with nothing to hide. So those two assumptions of yours about me are wrong and thus we will now dismiss them and throw them in the bin haha just kidding bro :-)
In any case, i fully agree with what you said about not reacting to people ogling your women. One needs to learn to live with all members of society and you'll never be happy if you get upset everytime someone looks at your women. I agree and you're right and that's my view too.
But I said in my comment that I'm really not talking about the "accidental/bored/casual/natural look' we all might give something as we pass by it. It was clear to understand. I'm talking about not the low income workers or beautiful women but rather about fellow drivers in their own cars and with a similar or even higher social standing who just like to look into others' private space.
It's just how some people are buddy; they love peeping into others' business/cars/homes/windows/phone screens and that's what I'm talking about. I'm talking about guys who crawl their cars nearer to another car just to get a better look inside. Or who stop behind or ahead of you at a traffic light and then spend the next 2 mins stealing glances at you in the mirrors while pretending not to be. I mean come on mate; if you wanna look at me or anyone, at least give me a bold constant friendly look so i can look back and smile or wave and make it fun friendly for both of us. There are many people in Qatar who are super sweet and friendly and who open heartedly smile and wave as they pull up next to you and it just makes your day; so I'm not asking for something that is from space or Mars. All im saying is don't be creepy about it.
Also, i didn't mean to praise the West at all with my reference; it was an attempt to back myself up in case someone said i was being unreasonable and especially in case my comment led someone to think that Muslims and their countries are just stuffy places with all these people getting angry about personal space and tinted windows. The point was that even in the West, with all these 'easily available to ogle" women and open beauty, people still get super annoyed when stared at and you absolutely have to give others their space. I don't need to say it but I'll still say it; I'll never use the West as a benchmark for being civilised or cultured and there are much better barometers to judge how civilised a nation or a people are than to compare it to the West.
I'm not sensitive at all bro and i love fitting in with all my fellow human beings and i too love to be loved and accepted by people around me so please don't make it like I'm some arrogant "classist' prince who doesn't like commoners looking into his car hahaha God forbid.
It's just about manners and courtesy to fellow road users and not invading others' personal space. Never mind, i had decided not to write any more long self obsessed comments on ql but I've decided on that many times and it just doesn't happen lol. Plus it's just fun debating things with friendly strangers like you on the internet hahaha so i think I'll keep doing what i do; type long winded comments completely unrelated to the original question/topic haha; i wonder what the OP Aslam has made of all this.. From tinted lights to ogling women to Western civilization; he got more than he asked for lol; so what's happening Aslam bro; are you getting the tinted lights after all this relevant info we gave you? hahhahaa :-)
mohdata: True, it is very rude to "stare" inside someone's car especially if there are females sitting in them. But then while you are saying so, you are overlooking several facts about Doha and also the Middle East Countries.
Qatar as well as other ME countries have workers, with a majority of them being in the low salary bracket. These people live for months and some of them for years without their wife and families. Their urge to have a simple look at something beautiful provided by nature is nothing unusual or abnormal.
And ALL females across the world are beautiful.
You feel annoyed at their glancing into your vehicle just because you have someone nice and pretty sitting beside you in your air conditioned car. Also, while these low income workers may not be that well-educated and simply not aware of your feelings when they have a glimpse of your wife, they do come from homes where females are respected. That is the beauty of the East. If you are that sensitive to people who just glimpse into your car when you are with your family, you should really choose a place which gives the privacy you want. Even while eating or walking at Villagio or Hyatt Plaza, you will definitely come across someone having a glimpse of you and your family, even if it is an unwilling one.
I am a frequent Karwa bus user, and I love to walk a lot. My observation is that only a minority of just 10% of the people who walk the roads of Doha who may really ogle. One cannot do away with such people. It takes all sorts of people to make this world and one has to co-exist with them. The remaining 90% may have just a glance at your car which is absolutely unavoidable. But it does send a sting down your spine.
As for praising the West for its "cultured" lot of people, one just not need to stare or even make an effort to watch the female beauty in the West. They are just there all around, walking on the roads and or lying on the beaches with hardly any clothes on. We from the East are far better in this respect. This has got to do with our culture and upbringing with of course some role played by religion as well.
As the English poet John Keats once said, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Juts control your feelings, be normal, think like a human being, and let people have a moment of joy!
Accha: another thing; you asked what they're trying to hide from public eyes; sure, most of those dark tinted cars are done for style and looks; but Qatar and other similar countries are a private and conservative culture.
Many people, including myself, feel very uncomfortable when people stare into one's car. I know it's the public road but i still feel it's really rude to look into other cars. I never ever look at anyone in their car and yet i always get people staring into my car at lights or wherever.
I'm not talking about a casual bored accidental look and rather am talking about those who endlessly rudely stare and stare. We need to remember that the Arab culture (and muslims in general) values and guards privacy. They had tall walls around their homes in the past and it's still visible in their modern architecture too.
Even in the West, people guard their personal space and it's just not proper to stare at others without reason. I'd have my windows super dark too if it was legal; that's how much it annoys me and others when strangers look into our cars while we're eating or with our families or doing whatever the hell people do in their cars. Hope this helps with that doubt of yours :-)
Accha, he's talking about the rear lights, in case you've missed that bit; but if you haven't, buddy i can't say for sure but all my experience with tinting lights and windows over the years says that it's illegal to mess with the lights in any way for road use.
Almost every car shop will refuse to tint or cover lights in any way saying they are not allowed by the traffic dept. and they'll just sell you the tint film without installing it for you. You can get permission from the police for windows yes but never heard of light alterations being approved for road use.
Having said that; many cars run around Qatar with these tinted lights/windows and many other illegal modifications; they take them off when it's registration renewal time and put it back on once renewed. The traffic cops on the road usually ignore and go easy on the lights/stickers a bit more than too dark windows. I've seen them stopping dark window cars many times and even forcing the drivers to remove the tint on the spot. Never seen dark lights getting caught yet, but yes they're illegal I'm saying.
Ha! Ha! Keep your eyes open and you will come across many cars especially Land Cruisers where the front windshield has been tinted. As a person who has been driving for so many years now, it makes me ask myself two important questions:
1. How do the drivers of such vehicles manage to see clearly through a tinted windshield especially after sunset? I would be facing much difficulty in driving such cars.
2. What are such vehicle owners trying to hide from the eyes of the common public on the streets?
As for your query, yes they are legal if one has obtained the necessary permission from the Traffic Police.
