The headline:
Another day, another un-worldly wanna-be judge makes a foolish statement.
" The coroner recommended that drivers take care when driving at sunrise or sunset, and be extra careful in winter when the sun is lower in the sky, wear sunglasses, keep the windshield clean and if drivers still can’t see, pull over until visibility improves. "
The coroner obviously has never driven a vehicle. She should have consulted her chauffeur.
Sunstrike happens instantly, it is not driving into the sun but being hit, unexpectedly, by very bright light.
Quite literally it blinds.
Only VERY good, VERY expensive sunglasses can help in such cases, no matter how aware a driver is.
No mention in the report of traffic mis-management that created this dangerous situation by not having sufficient warning devices placed before the sun-danger area hanging from convenient lamp-posts/trees etc.
Shame!
