Are polarized glasses good for driving?
I want to get a new pair of shades for the upcoming summer. I was looking at a pair of polarized glasses, but I wasn’t sure if they were good for driving. Should you wear polarized sunglasses while driving?

Few things are more exciting than a fresh pair of sunglasses to complement your summer look. But whether or not polarized glasses are good for driving is in the eye of the beholder. (Get it?)
Polarized suglasses have notable advantages and disadvantages:
- On the positive side, polarized glasses reduce glare and reflected light from the sun or wet pavement. They also provide sharper contrast, which can make driving easier.
- On the negative side, polarized glasses make viewing an LCD screen, such as your navigation system, more difficult. This is due to the polarizing filter that reduces glare on the screen itself.
Along with a new pair of shades, nothing’s better in the summer than an awesome road trip. So if you decide to see the country, just make sure to add
towing and labor coverage
or roadside assistance to your car insurance policy. If you’re not sure where to start, use the Jerry
