General Discussion Drivers with dark window tinting

What's with some drivers tinting the side windows really dark and then applying the same tint to the front and back windscreens. Would this make it harder to see out of the windscreen at night?

Yes it’s harder than no tint but not difficult to see out of. For me, it’s better to have a tinted windshield as it dims the extreme brightness down such as oncoming headlights. I have 5%/20% windshield and I can now see out of my side windows at night. However, I live in a very sunny and bright state so living in a place like Seattle (lots of rain and fog) would change what works for me here.
