• Keep the inside and outside of your windshield clean.
• Wear polarized sunglasses.
• Maintain enough space between your vehicle and the vehicles around you.
• Make sure your car visor works and is free of anything that would restrict use.
• Be aware of pedestrians. You may have difficulty seeing them.
