Don't be blind to Sun Glare!

Snowy weather and icy roads may create their share of car accidents, but as we have arrived in Spring, sun glare can be a hazard few people anticipate.

Sun glare can be a nuisance and make for dangerous driving conditions, particularly in the early morning or late afternoon when the sun is low on the horizon. The angle of the rays may render sun visors useless. Accidents due to sun glare occur and more frequently than you might think.

To prevent sun glare from becoming a hazard when you're driving, consider these safety tips

·  Delay driving times to occur before or after sunrise or sunset.

·  Use sunglasses that can help prevent glare.

·  Do not use high-gloss products on the dashboard, which can contribute to extra glare.

·  Keep the inside and outside of the windscreen clean.

·  Make use of sun visors where possible.

·  If glare is a problem, leave extra space between your car and others in the event of sudden stopping.

·  Drive slowly and be mindful of obstructions.

·  Leave extra time so that you don't feel rushed getting to your destination
