In autumn, the driver also has to keep an eye on the sun.

Riding in autumn is not only a risk of skidding on wet surfaces, often covered in leaves. The sun, which is low above the horizon in the morning or afternoon, is also dangerous. So you must remember about sunglasses.

– The midday sun, driving close to the surface of the water, the reflection of the light of the road or the dashboard tire the eyes of drivers. Glare caused by the sun and the resulting temporary loss of vision can cause an accident, says Zbigniew Veseli, director of the Renault driving school.

The most blinding sun is in the early morning or late afternoon, when it is low on the horizon. Then the angle of the sun's rays often renders car sunblinds useless. If you want to increase the comfort and safety of driving, you should look for lenses with a polarizing filter. They have a special filter that neutralizes glare from the sun, reflecting light and increasing the contrast of vision. In addition, it protects the eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation.

Sunlight glare can also blind us when the sun is behind us. The rays are then reflected in the rearview mirror, which impairs our visibility. In addition, for visibility, it is important to make sure that the windows are clean and free of streaks. Dirt and dust scatter the sun's rays and increase the brightness of the light.

“We also have to make sure that the headlights are clean and properly positioned so that they do not create unwanted glare,” suggest Renault driving school coaches.
