When driving in rain with sun glare, which measures are recommended?

• A. Turn on high beams
• B. Ignore glare and maintain speed
• C. Stop until weather improves
• D. Use appropriate sun protection, reduce speed, maintain distance, and ensure wipers are functioning

Answer: (D)

When rain and sun glare combine, visibility drops dramatically and reaction time to hazards shrinks. The safest approach is to actively manage the risk with practical steps: use sun protection such as sun visors or sunglasses to cut the glare, slow down so you have more time to react on slick pavement, increase the following distance to give extra room for stopping, and make sure the windshield wipers are functioning to keep the view clear as rain pours down. High beams should be avoided in rain because the reflected light from wet surfaces makes glare worse, and ignoring glare or stopping for weather changes isn’t a reliable or safe plan in ongoing driving. So these measures—sun protection, reduced speed, increased distance, and working wipers—tackle the glare and rain directly to keep visibility and control.
