Hopefully this will go down like his proposal to ban sushi did.
I don't see the correlation between tinted windows and aggressive driving. That's like saying females that have a layes on their rear view mirror are easy lays.
Most individuals that have tint on their vehicles, such as myself, do not get tint so that we can go out and drive like nutcases. We get tint because A) it's safer B) it helps in the summer when it's hot and C) it makes a car look better.
How are they 'safer'? It impairs the ability of other drivers to see you and where your attention is directed. B) and C) are irrelevant.
You didn't explain how it makes a car safer.
Aesthetics and heat are irrelevant because tinting is illegal. I imagine tints are available that do not block visible spectrum but do block infrared and/or UV. If heat were the issue these would be satisfactory.
Tint also helps deter potential burglars, as they are less likely to see within your vehicle.
It's more of a feeling of security.
The other measure being proposed by the transportation minister (and sounds like a done deal) is the legalization of double-trailer truck trains. After all the concers with trucking safety, why is this quietly being pushed through? There's been a number of truck crashes and rollovers lately. This will likely make things worse.
So while they make things extremely tough for younger drivers, they kowtow to the Ontario Trucking Association and MADD.
Are there no railways?
Based on my experience, a door on the glove compartment also prevents thieves from seeing inside it. That never stopped the ones that busted into my vehicle.

Isn't that saying that it more resembles an illusion of security?
I don't think you want to start name-calling. Some rather uncharitable things could be said about people who feel better hiding behind tint, and also feel that tint makes them look cool.
Some of you are complete grannies. It's actually quite entertaining.
May be you should lock your glove compartment next time.
