Are polarized lens sunglasses good for driving?
Absolutely. Polarized lens sunglasses are great for driving because they filter out glare that is reflecting off the road and the hood of your car. This is especially important when the hood is wet from rain and the sun is starting to come out. It’s important to have good polarized lens sunglasses when driving because obviously it’s important to see oncoming traffic and other road hazards. Also , those annoying bright reflections of the sun on the cars ahead can sometimes be attenuated a good deal. They tend to be horizontally polarized, thus perfect for vertically polarized lens sunglasses. The reason is that the surfaces that you see on the car in front of you (the back window, the trunk door, and even the roof) will be slanted towards you, while the sun will be more or less aligned in the vertical plane through both cars (if not you wouldn’t see its reflection from those surfaces) Other uses for good sunglasses would be polarized lens sunglasses for bicycling, hiking, boating, skiin
