Honest opinion on night driving

the glasses will help
rainx will help
mirror heat will help

 

Great that's good, I wear shooting glasses, yellow tint seems to help. Of course sticking my glock out the window and turning them off for the other guy helps even more.

 

Lazer surgery isn't the answer IMO. I hate night driving too....especially in the rain. The glare, the oncoming traffic... sometimes the lines disappear. I don't care if dispatch will b/tch
- I'm pulling over at the next opportunity.

 

Old School
Mounted on the headliner- usually purple/blue/red... You remember? wow

Just don't see that no more..And Yes,it worked!!

 

yeah, i had a mini light bar, (3 purple ones mounted together) then at a later time, a single light, never really seemed to work for me.

also too, although i cannot prove this, i thought that the DOT did not allow any colors showing in the front, other than white or amber?

i was told more than one time, driver getting tickets for non-compliance equipment.

again, it's what i had heard, so i cannot prove it, as it never happened to me.

 

there not suppose to be that bright for aiding your vision, some of the trucks I have driven have one of the overhead lamps are red, that helps

 

Any way you can reduce glare will help, like polarized lenses in your eyewear, keeping the windows clean inside and out, dimming your dash lights and computer screens.

My eyes have been light sensitive since I got a bad flash from an arc welder a long time ago.
Other truckers used to get on me about having 5 or 6 pairs of sunglasses in my truck, but each had a purpose.

I had a pair of polarized yellow night driving glasses, (that unfortunately wound up at the bottom of a lake during a fishing trip), another pair with polarized yellow lenses for rain and gloomy weather that I call my happy glasses, (actual fishing/shooting glasses), a pair of polarized glasses with a blue/grey tint for sunny days, (cool on the eyes), and a pair with red lenses for daytime snow and fog to increase contrast, also a green pair and likely a spare set of some kind.

The colours were not random choices, choices were made based on a photography book I read about the characteristics and physics of the light spectrum and how the human eye perceives that light.

The problem with red and yellow is, there's an adjustment period for your eyes to adjust when you remove them, and if you wear them too long they can cause headaches.

Another tip for reducing glare.
Try to drive north and east during day time, south and west at night.

Hope your new glasses work out for you.
