Posted: May 9th, 2013 10:13 AM
The Vancouver Police Department is reminding drivers that each year sun glare is a factor in traffic collisions. With sunny spring weather upon us and summer just around the corner, here are a few sun glare safety tips:
* Use sunglasses and the vehicle's visor, especially when driving toward the sun.
* Keep your vehicle's windshield clean on the outside and inside.
* Keep items off the dash that may glare into the windshield.
* Reduce speed in areas where there may be increased numbers of pedestrians or
bicyclists (parks, play grounds, schools, neighborhoods).
* Don't drive distracted
o Hands free cell phone only or better yet no cell phone usage while driving
o No texting and driving
o Keep other distractions such as adjusting the radio or talking to passengers
to a minimum.
Sun glare collisions can be deadly, but by implementing these tips you increase your chances of having a sunny and safe summer!
