Hey all,
I just got home from a horrible drive from northern WV to southern OH where it's pouring cats, and dogs rightnow... I was in a rental box truck with horrible lights and could barely see out the windshield. I was wondering what are some techniques/things you can do to see better other than clean windshield/bright lights..
Another note.. Is it just this area, or does it seem like headlights are way toooo bright these days? It seems like the regular lights are like brights, and the brights just about kill ya.
Do you look to the road directly at lines when someone has bright lights, or do you look to the right.. what do you do?
Seeing in the rain/snow...

Look at the fog line when oncoming lights are bright. I also wear yellow/amber lenses which really help for the glare and add a little light.

Use rain X or similar product on windshield.
Focus on the right side of the road. look across the hood and find the spot the line crosses the hood and use that as a guide. Is that the same as the fog line. -
allways look to the right look at the line on the road.and friend if you cant see that well even with high beams pull over be safe

When I was in the Army they taught us to close your right eye and look slightly right when approaching oncoming traffic. After it passes open your eye.. Your vision will be much clearer as the eye that is shut is still accustomed to the lack of light.

Rain X doesn't work on truck windows it just leaves a film

All good advice if you're force to drive. The best is to stop and let it pass if you can.
