The long answer? It\u2019s a bit more complicated than that. Let\u2019s see what the sun can and can\u2019t do to you when you\u2019re driving.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Is it possible to get burnt through a window?<\/h3>\n<p>There are 2 types of ultraviolet rays you want to watch out for; UVA and UVB. UVB is the one that burns your skin. Thankfully, all your car windows have a film on them to protect you from these harmful rays. Unfortunately, it\u2019s usually only the windshield that blocks the UVA rays. Now, you may be ready just dismiss this, since UVA rays don\u2019t burn you, but you might not want to be so hasty. UVA rays can cause premature wrinkling and aging. So, the short answer is no, you can\u2019t get sunburnt through the window of your car. However, there are still consequences of sitting in the sun too long that may encourage you to limit the amount of sun you are exposed to when driving.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-13541 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2019\/06\/02141145\/Window-tinting-B_b.jpg\" alt=\"Window tinting\" width=\"384\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2019\/06\/02141145\/Window-tinting-B_b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2019\/06\/02141145\/Window-tinting-B_b-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/>Is it legal to tint my car windows in Arizona?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes!
