If only there were sunglasses.
Don’t say it, Christopher already did, lol No light just pay attention.
When I was in high school driver ed, in 1967, my driver ed teacher told us, “When ever in doubt, don’t do it.” I’ve lived by that advice for years. Just glad there were no serious injuries, cause from the look of it, it could very well have been.
“Wow blinded by the sun” yes it’s almost happened to me the sun is a major cause for most morning accidents
@Christopher Daniels
Its a 65MPH zone in both directions on 29….
Has more than a light for the cause
It’s just lucky it wasn’t a lot worse, I’m glad there weren’t any worse injuries involved
WOW, “Blinded by the sun,yet pulled out in front of a semi… !!!!!!
When will they put a red light here?
I bet those screws will be in a large number of tires soon.
