Driving in the Rain, with Sunglasses?

It seems that its easier to see when driving in the rain, light or heavy, as well as fog it seems too.

Just popped up on my Facebook news feed and i thought it was a pretty nifty technique.

Anyone here do this whilst driving?

Imagine if you got pulled by the police for wearing Sunglasses whilst its pouring down?

I do this all the time, and it works!

I drive wearing polarized sunglasses in all daylight conditions.

Why would you ever get pulled by the police for wearing sunglasses in the rain, unless it was dark?

I have no clue, cba taking it out

Maybe they'd class it as dangerous driving if it was raining, and wasn't sunny, or if it was foggy etc.

People who wear sunglasses when driving should be shot.

Explain yourself.

When I don't have any contact lenses (which has been for a while), I really miss the option of sunglasses. There are clear and obvious safety benefits to sunglasses in bright light, and no dangers to wearing them unless it's low light.

I always drive in sunglasses.

Can't say I have tried it, I don't own shades as none of them suit me

It's just very annoying, I can't stand people wearing sunglasses full stop tbh.

K1LLSW1TCH · 6 Aug 2011 at 02:31

I'm always wearing a pair of shades whether it's sunny, raining or whatever.
