Can you see? The car? Cyclist? Or Pedestrian?
Sunstrike while travelling north on Miro Street on the morning of the 23 May 2019.
Sunstrike is more likely to occur in winter, especially from May to August, because the sun is lower in the sky.
Be prepared for possible sunstrike:
»» Keep your windscreen clean, inside and out.
»» Wear sunglasses if the sun is in your eyes.
»» Use your car’s sun visors.
»» If you experience sunstrike, it may be best to pull over and wait for a few minutes until visibility improves.
