• Do you wear sunglasses while driving?
• It should be recommended!
• You see people doing it all the time.

You just spent $90 on a new pair of "The Night Fall" polarized Pit Vipers. They are very dark and look sick with your freshly trimmed horseshoe mustache and sweet mullet.

It should be illegal to look this good, driving around in a lifted truck in Texas. When driving around rocking these shades, all anyone sees when they look into your cab is their own fear reflected back at them.

You can't tint your windows too dark, or tint your entire windshield in Texas. Can we sport the darkest shades known to man?

You Will Be Surprised To Find The Answer About Sunglasses In Texas

It is counterintuitive since Texas outlaws some levels of tint on our car windows, but it is perfectly legal to wear dark shades while driving in Texas. There is one thing you might want to consider.

No matter how good you look in your sunglasses, after it gets dark they have to come off. In Texas they could pull you over if you are wearing sunglasses at night.

You can't just take the tint off of your windshield at night.

If you are wearing shades that "impede your vision and abilities" then you might get a ticket, or at least get pulled over for a warning. If you have ever tried to wear sunglasses at night and drive, you understand the reason.

So the answer is yes and no. As long as the glasses don't obstruct your view of the road by wearing them at night, you should be good to go.
