You know this just seems weird, I'm calling this BS. I've been driving for 40 years and NEVER had the sun so intense in my eyes that I couldn't see nothing but a little red light. And if that had occurred then what the hell would I or anyone else be doing continuing to drive in those conditions? And if conditions like that did happen everyday there would be an ungodly number of accidents since no one could see anything and thus be crashing every which way trying to get their bearings. Trust me if conditions were as extreme as you say they were your not going to see any red light short of a search light beamed into your eyes with a red lens on it, not alone some tiny little dinotte.
