    @Twine, turned onto a main road, got up to the speed limit (70) sun blinded me, tried to change lanes to make it better, didnt see stopped bus, slam its weird what goes through your head at those moments, first its 'oh sh*t' then 'ow my nose' then 'the windshield shatter looks awesome' then 'oh man, my coffee's everywhere' then 'oh shit i could have died...' and everyone telling me how lucky i was made me feel so sick, for about an hour and a half all i could think was 'i could be dead, i could have died, i could not be here right now' had to see two doctors to check if i was alright...mostly coz the first doctor i saw was pretty unconvincing and very much 'i don't care' i only just got my license too xD now i have to start all over again lol

    thats why i put this here Krypton, i got out alive and unharmed but it could have been horribly worse, if i'd had a bit smaller car i'd be dead

    I think this is the first case of being "literally" blind sided. For this our anger now goes to the sun. *Angry fist* Anyways, Good to hear you're ok. Be sure to send a letter of apology to the bus company, trust me it's a very good gesture after an accident.

    sunglasses would not have helped at all, that road at 7:30 in the morning is blinding no matter what

    ^ make sure its polarized or just get some oakleys, raybans are useless unless they're polarized lol ive tried an oakley once and i could look directly at the sun while i cant on a wayfarer/aviator, it needs to be polarized... scary shit yeah, like final destination, we got into a car accident last year too, it was so rainy and dark and that stupid delivery guy didnt turn the headlight of his motorcycle on so we didnt see him and he bumped into us cuz he counterflowed...stupid zzz

    I guess you do need sunglasses to drive when its bright...

    Date: Fri, Aug 12 2011 18:07:00

    I honestly have to wear sunglasses when i drive around 3pm or later. The sun glare is absolutely RIDICULOUS. I would rather look stupid with my gay-Wayfarer imitations than end up crashing my car. Sunvisors help too.

    same in the winter when the sun reflects off the snow...

    Date: Fri, Aug 12 2011 19:17:40

    tinting the top of your windshield helps too eh. i wear usually sunglasses when i drive, even if its not even that bright. im a feeeeg. but not at night or darkish conditions.

    I don't understand. I never wear sunglasses when I'm driving, I see absolutely no need. If you're blinded by the sun in the car, when you're outside walking around at the same time of day, do you also get blinded? That sounds horribly inconvenient.

    Meh my mom always wear glasses even if its not that bright. she says she gets a "headache" lmao
