How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour. I can vouch
for this!!

Try this method when it rains heavily.
It is useful...even driving at night.

Most of the motorists would turn on HIGH or FASTEST SPEED of the wipers during a heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the windscreen is still bad......

In the event you face such a situation, just try your SUN GLASSES (any model will do), and miracle! All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your windscreen is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain. Make sure you always have a pair of SUN GLASSES in your truck as you are not only helping yourself to drive safely with good vision, but also might save your friend's life by giving him or her this idea..

Try it yourself and share it with your friends! Amazing, you still see the drops on the windshield, but not the sheet of rain falling. You can see where the rain bounces off the road. It works to eliminate the "blindness" from passing semi's spraying you too. Or the "kickup" if you are following a semi or car in the rain.

They ought to teach that little tip in driver's training. It really does work.

Now at night you don't want to use Sun Glasses how ever I use the Yellow tinted lens Glasses of which the pair I own have been treated with an anti glare treatment and yes they are prescription and the same type I used for Shooting night fire while in the service. In any case the yellow tint It tends to enhance ones night vision, and is a miracle in a down poor as well; and by the way in the dark and rain works wonders.


Have fun:)

This might be good in the daytime but sunglasses after dark are a very very bad idea. At night you need all the light input you can get. To significantly reduce it further, on purpose, with dark lenses, is a prescription for disaster at some point, especially after the accident when the opposing council finds out you were wearing dark lenses.

I'm not an old man, and that was just a little humor. The only thing that apparently remains the same is that people on EO have no
humor and fail to recognize it when it is presented.

By the way that would be Welcome back "Kotter",if I remember right,I'm sure it's not Carter.

When it's raining, or foggy, the moisture in the air causes the light to be refracted more, creating a UV haze. Sunglasses cut through the haze.

Using yellow lenses it might be good as they don't reduce the light so much as changing the color and clarity. It was the original incomplete message that sounded like using regular RayBans or similar for the UV and polarizing value that I commented on. If it had been complete as it is now I'd probably have said it's an interesting theory provided it's done only with the yellow lenses.
