The fight with the sun has begun for many drivers.
“This is the time of year, especially when you’re commuting to work and commuting home — depending on what time it is — where the sun is coming through the windshield,” Steve’s Auto Repair & Tire Owner Scott Whitling said.
There are a few things you can do to handle this problem.
Using a sun visor is one solution to the issue. Some sun visors now come in two parts and can be used for a windshield and side window.
“If you’re not sure about your car, look at the owner’s manual, which most people don’t do,” Whitling said. “You’d be surprised what your sun visors actually do now.”
Drivers should also consider purchasing a pair of sunglasses and remove any ice on their windshield.
“If you haven’t defrosted your windshield, that just makes that problem worse,” Whitling said. “There are a lot of accidents because of this problem.”
