Sunshine may seem like the perfect driving condition, but it can present serious risks, especially if you’re not prepared. Glare, dehydration, and overconfidence are just a few of the hazards drivers face on hot, sunny days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here we help learner drivers across Manchester build the skills to drive safely in <\/span>all<\/span><\/i> conditions, including bright sunshine. Whether you\u2019re just starting or have held your licence for years, these essential tips will help you stay focused, comfortable, and safe on sunny days.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Combat Glare with Sunglasses<\/b><\/h2>\n

Sun glare, especially during early morning or late afternoon drives, can temporarily blind you and dramatically reduce visibility. Always keep a pair of <\/span>polarised sunglasses<\/b> in your car; they help cut down glare and reduce eye strain. Avoid fashion lenses and opt for driving-approved lenses that don\u2019t alter colour perception.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Keep Your Windscreen Clean (Inside & Out)<\/b><\/h2>\n

A dirty windscreen can magnify the sun’s rays and create intense glare. Before any sunny-day journey, clean both the <\/span>interior and exterior<\/b> of your windscreen. Use a microfibre cloth and glass cleaner to remove smudges, especially those that catch the light when the sun is low.<\/span><\/p>\n
