Tips to Help You Keep Safe While Driving During the Bright Sunlight

Driving while the sun is setting or rising can become problematic if you are driving toward it. Let's face it, it happens to all of us, and sometimes there is no way around it. Sun and headlight glare can make it hard to see other drivers and potential hazards. After being exposed to glare, it takes a few minutes for our eyes to adjust. I personally have had to pull over because of the discomfort from the glare. It only takes a few seconds of having your eyes off the road to cause an accident. Bright sunlight is a dangerous driving condition. According to the Insurance Information Institute obscured vision, such as rain, snow, glare, lights, etc., has caused 1,566 fatal crashes in 2016.

Luckily there are several tips to help you drive during this time of the day. Some are no-brainers and others you might not have thought of.

-Have a good pair of sunglasses handy. You don’t want to have to fumble through your car or bag looking for them, that is time with your eyes off the road you can't afford.
-Don’t forget about your cars sun visor. Some vehicles come with two to block the sun from the front and the side.
-Keep in mind the time of day in which you want to travel. Sun glare is worse in the early morning and late afternoon.
-Drive with a clean windshield. This can make a huge difference during your travels.
-Expect the traffic in front of you to slow down during this time of the day. They are in the same situation as you and are being cautious.
-Driving with your headlights on during the day will make it easier for other drivers to see you.
-Get your windows tinted. The film will block a percentage of the suns rays from entering your vehicle.
-And last, if you are having a difficult time seeing the road or if the sunlight hurt your eyes, consider pulling over to a safe place for a few minutes to let the sun reposition.

I Think He Forgot Something

I Think He Forgot Something So this is funny. But according to nwitimes.com , a 33-year-old suspect made his getaway after robbing a convenience store but didn't get far. The guy had robbed a LaCrosse gas station after he informed the store clerk he had a gun. The suspect, Sean Harris, made off with food, beverage items, and cigarettes… but no money! I guess the guy was super hungry since the report stated he had a blood alcohol level higher than the limit for legally operating a motor vehicle. Harris fled the gas station, with whatever he could carry, when an Indiana State Police trooper came upon the getaway car. Not in some crazy high-speed chase, or from using some awesome spy satellite that Vin Diesel uses in all his action films. NOPE! Harris’ vehicle ran out of gas. That’s right, he forgot to steal some fuel before making off with his goodies. The Indiana State Police trooper found his vehicle stopped along a two-lane highway. Harris is being held in jail without bail.

Looking for a Pre-Owned Pickup Truck? Pickup trucks are both functional and fun to drive.

They also offer space for hauling many different things in the bed. This is convenient because no one wants to put a bale of hay or a deer carcass inside the cab of a vehicle even if it does fit. Trucks not only offer functionality but are also just fun to drive. They are high off of the ground and can typically travel places other low vehicles cannot go. They are great for off-road driving. They are also suitable for what is a typical Texas country tradition, mudding. Who doesn’t want to find a good mud hole and bust some 180’s and sling mud everywhere? How Do You Choose A Pickup Truck For You? Not everyone wants a big, high off the ground pickup truck. Some people want a pickup truck that offers a spaciou
