Sunshine, we all love it and it can make for a beautiful drive. However, when the sun is low in the sky and particularly bright, it can quickly turn into a hazard.
The problems occur when the glare from the sun starts to reduce the amount of visibility that you have. Making it harder to see other road users, traffic signals, and potential dangers.
Whether it is a dazzling sunrise on your morning commute, or the glare of a setting sun in the evening, it's important to take the right precautions to remain safe on the road.
Driving in Sun - Use Your Sun Visor
Your first port of call is a simple one. Your car’s sun visor is a useful and effective tool for blocking the sunlight directly.
It can be adjusted to shield your eyes from glare. In most vehicles you can also adjust it to sit on the side window to block the sun coming in from the side.
Use your sun visors as the first combatant as you try to reduce the glare without impacting on your own overall visibility.
