Five minutes on a road that gets salted in the winter, and the windshield will be covered in a thin crust left behind by the brine spray from other vehicles. End result is that things will be just as bad when the sun hits you straight on.
Polarized glasses, as you mention, do help, as well as putting down the visor so you don't stare directly into the sun.
That's why it's really important to have enough windshield washer fluid (rated down to whatever cold temperature you might encounter). Just gotta run that once every few minutes.
If you are catching spray, try to increase the follow distance between you and the vehicle ahead. Same deal for rocks in places where that is a concern. It can be hard to leave a big gap, for fear that someone will come into that gap, but you can't fix everyone, you can only fix you.
But, we also do have wipers for anything that happens during the current drive, not as good as not getting dirty in the first place, but better than staying dirty.
Fine enough for the car ahead of you but then there's the issue of oncoming traffic.
I would love to know why anybody would downvote this observation.
I guess some people can't imagine a 2-lane, opposed traffic route/rural highway. 🤷
If there's a lot of traffic then increasing the distance every time someone fills in the gap, you'll soon be standing still hah. Not every issue can be fixed, just gotta wash it with windshield wiper fluid often
Then stand still
I don't think stopping in the middle of a highway is a good idea
I don’t think driving a multi ton machine while blind is a good idea
No shit lol
You know you are arguing a lot about your right to drive blind. You might be a narcissist. You are arguing very clearly that if you hurt someone while driving blind it’s their fault.
Maybe you are just incapable of empathy. If you kill people bit you get to your destination quicker… that’s a Win.
Maybe you just suck?
Let me ask you this
You’ll get 1 million dollars but a new born infant will be skinned alive… do you take the money?
I think you need a breather, my friend
Late is better than calling insurance. Maintain distance.
Maintain sensible distance for sure
