It's BLINDING! Even with sunglasses and that sun shield thing, it still causes trouble trying to see the road. The need to invent a windshield that blocks the sunlight from shining so bright into the driver's eyes. Maybe...

"Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy..."

But I really hate it when it reflects off the rear window/bumper of the car in front of me. I'm prone to migraines and piercing bright light can bring one on

Certainly know what you mean, SCG. Driving west across the prairie with the setting sun in your eyes can be dangerous.

Dangerous is what it is and I don't care how good your sunglasses are, when it hits you straight on you're blinded. How I had my fender bender with a motorcycle. Was turning onto a side street and just as the sun totally blinded me the guy on his motorcycle (who wasn't there when I started to make the turn) zoomed up - bam. Fortunately, I was going real slow because I was making a turn, he wasn't hurt, insurance covered damage to his bike but I ended up with whiplash from slamming on my brakes.

It's really bad when you're uh, vertically challenged. They don't make sun visors that long.

I prefer to be stationary at sunrise and sunset. Taking pictures. Living on the mesa ( big flat spot) we are privy to amazing color displays .
