AFTERNOON SUN GLARE
DANGER TO MOTORISTS. At this time of the year the danger caused by the glare of the afternoon sun is very pronounced on certain roads. At week-ends motorists driving homewards from the beaches between 5 and 6 o’clock often find that as they follow hilly roads in a westerly direction' they are quite' unexpectedly blinded suddenly by dazzling sunlight, and if the highway is dusty and there are ■other cars in front it becomes more difficult than ever to discern the edge of the road, or what is ahead. - Owners of* old models which are not equipped .with some 'form of sun visor would be' well advised to fit such an accessory, and it Should also be remembered that . a dirty windscreen serves to aggravate the trouble; It .is far better to'slow down than take any risk of a collision, and the car should in such circumstances always be. driven as close 'as possible to the left-hand side of the road,.
