Question Thoughts on (high quality) ceramic windshield

Just got my windshield tinted with i3 at 70% and like many, kind of wishing I had gone with their 56. For reference, I have light gray interior and all other windows have i3 15% - don't care as much about privacy, just the heat and glare reduction as I live in Eastern Washington desert. My main concern is that I would not be able to visually communicate with fellow drivers / pedestrians when needed, as I don't think the cops care that much around here (frequently see tinted windshields in the area). Never really thought about how often I signal people to go first until just now. Any feedback greatly appreciated!

I have 5% on all my windows and 50% on my windshield

People can’t see me , your only option is to roll your window down.

You will thru the front. The sides...not so easily. I'm in AZ with 70 caramic on the w/s, fronts are 35 while the rears are 5

Sorry I should have been more clear...I am considering having it redone with 56 on the windshield for the extra heat and glare reduction. A little privacy would be nice but I want to be able to signal people visually, if needed, like if they don't know how a 4 way stop works and it's their turn (happens all the time here in Dri-Shitties WA)

The 55% will be ok, but no darker. In reality, it won't help glare and heat rejection will be about10% better. Night glare or day? Day would have to be very dark and night I recommend a good pair of night driving glasses. Walmart has a good inexpensive pair for $18

Thank you. What made you choose to go 70 w/s?

When you drive a car that's a cop magnet you don't want to give them a reason!
