Have you ever been driving on a beautiful sunny day only for your visibility to be reduced due to windshield glare? This is annoying and can be dangerous for you, your passengers, and other drivers. At Lewis Motor Sales Inc in Lafayette, IN, we care about your safety on the road and want to share some tips to help you reduce windshield glare while driving.
1. Invest in a Polarized Sun Visor: One effective way to block out horizontal light, often a major cause of glare, is to use a polarized sun visor. It is easy to attach to your existing sun visor and can protect you from the sun's rays.
2. Ensure Your Windshield is Clean: A dirty windshield can scatter light, making glare worse and reducing visibility. Regularly cleaning your windshield inside and out with a quality glass cleaner will help reduce this issue. Remove all dirt, dust, or streaks that could obstruct your view.
3. Try Polarized Sunglasses: Polarized sunglasses are designed to filter out horizontal light waves, reducing glare and improving visibility, especially on bright sunny days. Investing in a good pair of polarized sunglasses and keeping them in your car is wise.
4. Consider Tinting Your Windows: Professional window tinting for your car can effectively block a significant amount of sunlight and reduce glare. However, always check local laws and regulations regarding window tinting limits before deciding to get it done.
5. Adjust Your Driving Position: Lastly, adjusting your seat position or using seat cushions to change the angle at which light enters your windshield can also help minimize glare.
