By: James Preston Acquiring a pair of Polaroid sunglasses at http://www.polaroidsunglasses.co.uk will help you in two important ways. For your own safety and those that surround you, having polarized lenses will dramatically reduce the advent of glare and sun blindness. Not only do polarized lenses protect drivers from short-term damage, they also prevent long term damage to the retina due to ultraviolet radiation (which carries more energy than visible light). It is also important to remember that not wearing sunglasses can sometimes constitute a violation of the law! Motorists are required to be able to read a number plate from 20 meters away, under any circumstances, which is almost impossible under conditions of intense glare. This effect is amplified by traveling through urban areas and mountainous terrain because large jumps in contrast (such as a tunnel) will almost certainly lead to a significant drop in visibility and may even lead to complete temporary blindness. Admittedly, it is unrealistic to presume that wearing sunglasses are the only way out. Other precautions will go a long way in reducing car crashes due to glare. Most accidents happen either in the early morning or in the late afternoon due to the sun being close to the horizon, and car visors are unable to help reduce sun blindness. Ironically, these are often the busiest time of the day in terms of traffic and the combination of increased glare and heightened activity on the road are the cause of many (avoidable) car crashes and traffic incidents.
