Are mini-bikes, dirt bikes and ATVs legal on neighborhood streets in Washington? A360 Getty Images Q: I live in a neighborhood in the county, and we have people who race up and down our streets on mini-bikes, dirt bikes and three- and four-wheelers, often after dark with no lights. These vehicles are loud, none of them are licensed, and some of the riders are too young to even get a driver’s license. All I can see is a disaster happening.

Q: Is it legal in Washington to have windows so dark that cross traffic cannot see the driver’s face? I have had two incidents where a car has pulled out in front of me where a near crash situation would have been avoided had I been able to see if the driver had looked my way. A: I know someone who bought a car with tint so dark he had to drive with the windows down at night. Not a joke. He promptly removed the tint, both for functionality and legality.
