Peter Castillo+FollowWhy Sunglasses Are a Summer Driving MustDid you know not having sunglasses in your car could be a real hazard this week? With temps soaring into the 90s (and even 100s in some spots!), glare from the sun is a legit danger for drivers—think blinding light, slower reaction times, and even fines. Experts say polarized sunnies aren’t just for style—they actually help prevent accidents by cutting glare and boosting visibility. Pro tip: Go for lenses labeled as filter category 2 for daytime driving. Stay safe and don’t forget your shades! #Heatwave2024 #SummerDriving #RoadSafety #Transportation40Share

Let’s keep everyone safe this summer! #MotorcycleSafety #RoadAwareness #SummerDriving #StayAlert #Transportation100Share
