At this time of year, sun glare on the horizon is a major safety issue when people are commuting and kids are getting to school. Plan your schedule and route to avoid traveling directly into the sun. Reduce your speed to give yourself more time to react and use your sun visor to block sunlight. And most importantly, if you can't see, stop. |
