There are many automobile to automobile accidents that are caused by drivers being "blinded" by the sun. I drive a car and there are often times when fog, sun or whatever make it difficult to see. I do not stop driving. I don't know of anyone who does stop until the sun lowers or the fog clears. That being the case, as a cyclist, I will not ride in the fog, and will ride on the sidewalk, or have tail lights on, or change the time of my recreational ride to prolong my life. After reading something along these longs last Fall, I changed my riding behavior to become more defensive. The driver who was reaching for her sunglasses was only doing what the majority of us all do.....changing the radio station, grabbing a sip of coffee, turning the corner and realizing the sun is now in your eyes and grabbing for the glasses that were on the passenger seat. I would love to say I drive my car and cycle my bike in a safe manner all the time, but it's probably only about 90-95%. What's your rate?
