Wearing Dark Glasses while on Wheels!

Dark glasses I believe is used most times to shed either dust particles or heavy sunrays from reaching the eye retina ? , sometimestimes people wear it to have fame or look cute in their outfit.

Early in the morning between 7-9, when traffic flow are quite enormous, considering the slow, irregular movement of vehicles, and to keep up to the pace one has to be careful as poor visibility could lead to accident….., I have seen most accident offender wearing dark glasses which I have believe may have in one way be a contributory factor to such incidence due to poor artificial visibility……..well correct me if am wrong?

I have to agree with you. I too wear contact lenses and I have to wear sun glasses even in Winter.

Not had an accident yet. (touch wood).

My thoughts are my own, but I doubt my Mum would agree with some of them.

It must be, that the author of this forum, forgot to use common sense.

He had to be wearing Mr. Magoo's super dark shades for nearsighted while typing.

The topic of the forum has totally completed the cycle of a solar eclipse of logic.

The problem is I think you’re an overeducated, 27-year-old virgin who holds the hands of superstitious old women and promises them eternity.

I also noted that wearing sun glasses restricts the view. It feels like wearing a hijab.

"I have seen most accident offender wearing dark glasses which I have believe may have in one way be a contributory factor to such incidence due to poor artificial visibility.." -- nah,.. it's mostly because of the stupidity and arrogance of some drivers that they think they're the only ones on the road.. sunglasses are meant to protect your eyes from the harsh rays of the sun, at 7-9 a.m., sun is shining bright already so i see nothing wrong wearing sunglasses...

When I left home at 6am I did not need glasses. When I left school at 6:30 am and headed home I definitely did need them. I think it is better to wear sunglasses than to squint from the sun hitting you in the eyes and not having your full vision.

To wear glasses or not while driving is every individuals choice, comfort & luxury. But at the same time Road Sense is the most important factor. Concentrate on your driving at first and do anything else if your smart enough.

Agree to it? Like It?

as sunglasses gives comfort and cool to your eyes, if it is branded and of good quality.

Pure coincidence, if it happened to be an accident.

I drive to office 6:15 to 7:00 and keep my sunglasses on the tray. Only wear them when it starts to get sunny around 6:45

I dont think it is the sunglasses.... it is the shirts. I am sure all of the offenders are also wearing shirts if some kind (button ups, underwear shirts) and these shirts are inhibiting their reaction time as they are restricted by the sleeves of these devices or carnage...

No Way!!! dark glasses is needed when you are in qatar with lots of sunrays and sometime the sun level is right on your eye level. I drive with dark shade glasses and one of them is actually with doctor prescription.

what a rubbish dark glasses cost the accident.

Everybody is right everybody is wrong, it depend where you stand

I wear sunglasses driving to work at 7.30 (ish). I also wear contact lenses and find that wearing sunglasses reduces the glare and hence stops my contact lenses drying out!

Oh, and touch wood, never had an accident to date!

of your thread! How many accident have you witness with "offender" in dark shades? And what time did you witness it? Are you a driver yourself? And are you not comfortable wearing shades while driving in daytime?
