No I do not have first hand experience. Maybe I would but I am not stupid enough to try it and place my life and others in danger. To me "minuscule" means very little. No matter the brand 55% tint will reduce the amount of light by almost 50%. That is HALF! How can you say "minuscule. How much closer do you think you will have to be to see some kid on the side of the road. I am so anti-law, but I would be all for a law to stop stupid things like this. Why don't you remove the tint and see that it is not "minuscule". Hell while you are at it put on a pair of sun glasses, that would be cool also.

55% is how much visible light passes through the tint. It doesn't mean 55% of your vision is reduced. Have you ever seen a car tinted such as a limo? You can't see in but you can see out. You need to do some research before you shoot something down that you have no experience with. Wearing sunglasses effects my vision more than my 55% tint.

When did I say it will reduce your vision by 55%? You cannot see inside a limo because you are trying to look into a dark confined space. All the limos that I have been, although you can see outside, it is with at a greatly reduced level. There is a reason it is illegal, because it is unsafe.
