7 Summertime Tips For Driving In The Sun

by

Even the best driver is ill-prepared for sudden glare on a picture-perfect bright sunny day. Blinding light from the sun creates one of the most dangerous driving hazards faced by motorists –particularly during the morning and evening when the sun rises and sets.
