So I don't know if any of you have seen that viral picture of that old man where the side of his face is all old and wrinkly after driving for so many years, this is because of the sun. How would I go about so I don't end up looking like that if I make a career in trucking?
How can I legally and safely block the sun while driving

When you can drive for that long then something like that won't even bother you.
Lav-25 and Odin's Rabid Dog Thank this. -
Hat, sunscreen, visor, long sleeves... Best way to avoid this is to be a vampire trucker as much as possible.
Aces-N-Eights, Lav-25, buddyd157 and 3 others Thank this. -
Lav-25, driverdriver, baha and 1 other person Thank this.

I used a spring loaded shade I bought at Walmart. Can see the mirrors just fine through it. I put it up when crossing scales in case some DOT officer was on duty that was trying to be a hero and save the world.
I had eye surgery on my left eye and a section of retina replaced due to sun damage and had dozens of pre-cancerous brown spots cut off my face from sun damage. Luckily, no scars from all that. The doctor said all that damage was started before I started using the sun shade.rda2580 Thanks this. -
Tint the windows

And and and... get yourself a decent pair of polarizing sunglasses (I wear corrective lenses, so I got a pair of wear over polarizing sunglasses at ShopKo for $20).
If you're driving into a sunrise or sunset, or worse with a wet roadway, well you still have a job to do, and you can't drive if you can't see. -
Some state doesn't allow aftermarket tint to be installed

My pete is dark inside. Drop visor does wonders. Tint the side windows
