People must now get used to hot journeys this summer as the Supreme Court order on the usage of tinted glasses has made it mandatory for the removal of all sun films that have not been supplied by car manufacturers. The Supreme Court has also suggested steep fines to people not following its ruling effective from May 19th.

While many car users will fretting about the fact that they will have to endure heat while being in the car, there is also the cost of getting the sun films removed. The Bangalore Traffic Police are helping out people by offering to remove these tinted glasses free of cost at ten locations across the city.

The Supreme Cort has decreed that all tinted glasses below the permitted limit have to be removed. However, the traffic police have a different story to tell. They have said that any kind of tinted glass that has not been supplied by the carmaker has to be removed even if it is within permissible limits.

The Supreme court has stated that many crimes have been committed inside cars with the protection of tinted glasses. Even law enforcing authorities have said this order will help them control crime and even nab criminals as they can now identify people sitting inside a car more easily.

Although, this order does appear positive, there are many who have expressed concerns about the Supreme court's order. A woman driver who did not wished to be named has stated that she felt secure inside a car with tinted glasses.

Even as the May 19th deadline approaches there are mixed voices for and against the Supreme Court order banning the use of highly tinted glasses.
