This moment is often referred to as \u201csun glare\u201d and can be very dangerous, especially on busy metro-Atlanta roadways.<\/p>\n<p>These sun glare moments may be inevitable, but here are a few safety measures to try to prevent accidents and injuries as a result of them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make use of your car\u2019s visors.<\/strong> Most vehicles have at least one visor on the driver and passenger sides, which can be adjusted as needed. Many times you can switch them from front to side visors as well. While this doesn\u2019t increase road visibility, it does block the sun from your eyes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean your windshield.<\/strong> Haze, smudges and dirt buildup on your windshield can make sun glare even worse. Glass cleaner is meant to keep windows clear not only for looks, but for these types of safety reasons as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wear sunglasses.<\/strong> Especially sunglasses with polarized lenses, which are made to diminish the sun glare\u2019s intensity. Make sure they are easily accessible as well because you don\u2019t want to become distracted while searching for them while behind the wheel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Slow down and back off.<\/strong> When sun glare is affecting your vision, it\u2019s likely affecting the vision of drivers around you as well. That means they may brake suddenly and unexpectedly. Anytime the sun is an issue with visibility, you should reduce your vehicle\u2019s speed and follow the vehicles in front of you much less closely than typically necessary.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean your dashboard.<\/strong> Papers and other cluttering items can cause a glare on your windshield, making it even more difficult to see.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use your headlights and taillights.<\/strong> This sometimes makes your vehicle easier for other drivers to see.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The sun and its glare isn\u2019t something you can control, but these safety precautions might be the difference in a safe commute and involvement in a crash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sun glare is a common problem, especially because peak glare times tend to coincide with worker commute times in the mornings and evenings.
