Can you wear polarized sunglasses while driving?

I hate straining my eyes while driving in bright daylight—plus I don’t want to get wrinkles! Is it legal to wear my sunglasses when I drive?

I’m currently fighting the same fight against wrinkles—taking it a day at a time! You’ll be pleased to know that you can wear polarized sunglasses while driving. It’s perfectly legal, and it may even help you see the road better. Just make sure not to wear them at night!
Let’s talk about that.
  • Polarized sunglasses are glasses where a film has been applied over the lens to block light from passing through to the eye.
  • Polarized sunglasses help reduce glare, which happens when your eyes are exposed to bright light.
  • Although polarized sunglasses are recommended for driving during the day, they are not recommended for driving in low-light conditions or at night. Doing so can be extremely dangerous because there is not enough light to see.
