AFTERNOON SUN GLARE
The danger caused by the glare of the afternoon sun is very pronounced on certain roads running towards the west. Owners of old models which are not equipped with some form of sun visor would be well advised to fit such an accessory, and it should also be remembered that a dirty windscreen serves to aggravate the trouble. It is far better to slow down than take any risk of a collision, and the car should in such circumstances always be driven as close as possible to the left-hand side of the road. Wipe the windscreen with a sheet of newspaper and see how much better are the results obtained. This is particularly appreciated on dusty roads, when the glass is so quickly covered with a film of dust. Whilst not particularly noticeable in the day, the dust considerably accentuates dazzle from other headlamps at night time, and increases eye strain.
