Incidents, accidents and emergencies
A low, bright sun is dazzling you so much that you can barely see the road ahead. What should you do?
- Carry on at the same speed and hope it passes
- Turn on your rear fog light to warn others
- Slow down and, if necessary, stop until you can see clearlyCorrect
- Overtake the car in front to get out of the glare
Why?
Rule 237 of The Highway Code says that if you are dazzled by bright sunlight you should slow down and, if necessary, stop. Using your sun visor helps, but you must never keep driving at speed when you cannot see the road ahead clearly.
