 Tips for Driving with the Sun in Your Eyes

  • Use polarized sunglasses – they can help reduce sun glare.
  • Keep your windshield clean
  • Use your sun visor
  • Leave enough following distance
  • Keep your dashboard clean – remove any reflective item on your dashboard that can worsen the glare.
  • Check your windshield for pitting and cracks – cracks on your windshield can scatter sun ray and distort your view, making it even harder to see.
  • Reduce your speed if you are having trouble seeing
  • Pay attention to the road markings and ensure you stay in your own lane
  • Avoid driving when sun glare is at its worst
