The Road Safety Authority (RSA) is urging road users to be aware of sun glare dangers in the continuing sunny weather, which can temporarily blind or dazzle drivers, writes Brian Byrne.
The RSA advises wearing sunglasses to reduce glare, being cautious when travelling east in the mornings and west later in the day, and ensuring clear windscreens by having enough window washer fluid.
A special watch should be made for vulnerable road users like pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders, and motorcyclists. Those road users also need to be aware of sun glare issues, especially when crossing roads and at junctions.
