How to easily achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour... We are not sure why it is so effective; just try this when it rains heavily. This method was told by a police friend who had experienced and confirmed it.
Note: It is useful, even when driving at night. Most of the motorists would turn on high or fastest speed of the wipers during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the windshield is still bad... Don't do it.
In the event you face such a situation, just try your sunglasses (any model will do), and miracle of miracles occurs! All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your windshield is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain.
Make sure you always have a pair of sunglasses in your car as you are not only helping yourself to drive safely with good vision, but also might save your friend's life by giving him this idea. Try it yourself and share it with your friends.
We are more aware now of driving in the rain because our good friends hydroplaned across 4 lanes of the freeway 2 weeks ago and first crashed into the bridge on the right, deploying the air bags, then away they went to the far side and hit the concrete divider in the center of the freeway. Also they had on their cruise control. So when they were slowing down, the car automatically tried to compensate and speed up. This also is a no-no. Turn off your cruise control!
Needless to say, our friends car was totaled but worse than that, the man who was stricken with polio when he was 10 years old and is quite crippled, was driving. He is in the hospital with a cracked femur and can't wear a leg cast due to this happening to his 'bad leg.' So 7 to 9 weeks he has to lay with the leg extended and no weight on it.
Both he and his wife are lucky to be alive.
