    Confused Transmission vs Transmittance

    The window tint ("sun-shading") law in Virginia (here and here) and DMV form (here) restrict light "transmittance" through vehicle windows and windshields.

    Shouldn't that be "transmission" instead of "transmittance"?

    (never mind the threat of perjury)

    Had a favorite sign on a route I frequently traveled that stated:
