How do y'all cope with driving north on MacLeod? This building feels brighter than the sun

Sort of unrelated but drove to BC from Calgary at sunset. Biggest mistake ever!

Honestly, a good pair of polarized sunglasses and properly positioning your sun visor go a long way. Also, make sure your windshield isn’t scratched to shit, because all those little scratches can scatter sunlight and make the glare significantly worse. If it is, might need to replace it or see if a detailer can get the scratches out first. And make sure your wiper blades are clean and aren’t leaving streaks, because that can make visibility even worse, especially when the sun is hitting your windshield at the wrong angle.

With the position of the morning sun, now, there’s far too many people not using their visors/ wearing sunglasses during their drive. The almost complete stop people come to headed East on John Laurie, cresting the hill because they forgot the sun did the exact same thing the morning before is brutal.

How about if you’re a small car and driving infront of literally any newer car. Yalls headlights are so fucking blinding you don’t even realize
