Drivers on the road this Christmas warned as sunglasses could save you £2,500 With snow falling already in Scotland and more predicted over the coming days across the UK, there's one essential item behind the wheel that may seem counter intuitive.
Mike Thompson, motoring expert and COO at Leasing Options, said: "Drivers can even be fined for not wearing sunglasses if you continue driving and can’t see because of the glare.
This is because of the risk of snow glare, which is caused by low winter sunlight reflecting off icy surfaces and can make driving dangerously difficult.
Careless driving is against the Road Traffic Act 1988, which requires drivers to operate their vehicles safely and responsibly.
Keeping a pair of sunglasses in your car can help prevent these risks, keeping you safe and avoiding costly fines or penalties.
