sun glare
Visor's primary enemy
Sun glare is the blinding brightness when sunlight shines directly into your eyes or reflects intensely off surfaces.
Drivers encounter it most often at sunrise and sunset when the sun sits low on the horizon: The sun glare made it impossible to see the traffic light.
Water, snow, and glass amplify the effect.
