Protecting yourself from the sun’s glare while driving

The sunny weather in Florida encourages people to go outside and explore. While many people opt to go on foot or cycle, driving is still one of the most popular forms of transport, especially for longer distances.

We often view the sun as a positive thing, a chance to go outside and enjoy the weather. However, it’s important not to forget the dangers that the sun poses. When driving, the sun’s glare can significantly obstruct your vision, and it may even cause temporary blindness in severe circumstances.

How can you protect yourself from the sun’s glare while driving?

Utilize interior visors

Sometimes, drivers fail to take note of the visors that are fitted above their heads. They are there for a reason, to prevent bright light obstructing your vision. Folding them down may not be enough to completely block out the sun’s glare, but it will have the effect of preventing it from hitting your eyes directly.

Keep a clean windshield

The windshield is one of the most vital aspects of driver visibility. Not only should it be in pristine condition in terms of having no chips or cracks, but it should also be kept as clean as possible. If the windshield has smears all over it, these will become more prominent during bright and sunny days. Keeping a clean windshield will allow you to have a better picture of the hazards that are coming up in front of you.

While the sun makes for the ideal opportunity to go for a trip in the car, it is important to remember the dangerous aspects of bright sunlight. If you have been caught up in a vehicular collision in Florida, make sure you take note of your legal options.

What Our Clients Say

PERSONAL INJURY CLIENT

Sharon Elliott

When I first called their office I was able to speak to a paralegal and an attorney right away. They answered all of my questions. Throughout the process of my case the attorneys were in constant contact with me. I knew every step of the process. The staff and attorneys were very easy to talk to. I was extremely pleased with the outcome. My medical bills were high. They managed to get my doctors to write off a lot of the bills which saved me money. PHL is a great law firm. I highly recommend them to anyone. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

REAL ESTATE CLIENT

Amber Joye Rosen, Au.D.

I called numerous attorneys, Michael Labbee was not only the only attorney to call me back at all but called me the same day during his personal time. In the consult, he confirmed my rights as a party to this contract, went over all the ramifications the seller would incur by breaking our contract, and went over cost of litigation if that’s the route I needed to take. I felt more empowered at my options. He was not only knowledgeable and to the point, but kind (yet clearly willing to go to bat to people in their place for my rights!).

After my accident I contacted Tyler Hayden to get his advice on legal help and he said don’t worry, we can take care of this and that’s exactly what that firm did. From day one I felt comfortable talking to the lawyers and knew they had my best interest. I would 100% recommend Phillips, Hayden, & Labbee to handle your personal injury case. I’m glad I did.
