Quick survey on sun visors and reduced visibility

[JamesBenson]

Hi everybody,

As part of my university project I am looking into the effectiveness of sun visors in combatting glare from the sun whilst driving.

Below is the justification for my survey.

Glare from the sun is a common cause of road accidents. It can be argued that it is ‘responsible for around 3,900 road injuries every year’ and has caused an ‘average of 28 road deaths each year since 2010’ (AA, 2014). This clearly justifies glare from the sun as an issue whilst driving and if its effects can be reduced; significantly less accidents, injuries and deaths will occur.

It would be much appreciated if you could spare 5 minutes to complete the survey! If you have any improvements or issues with the questionnaire please let me know.

Done, but Question 5, really?!

[Hackney]

Done.

The survey doesn't cater very well for cars without sun visors.

[Morningside]

Answered, but I hope you have asked permission to post this otherwise you are breaking posting rule 5.

Thanks guys, this is really useful.

The sun visor design seems to have remained mostly un changed over the years and from my personal experience it does not provide that much help in some circumstances.

I am also having trouble choosing what to do for my final year project so this research will hopefully help put me in the right direction!

Huh? There's two positions?!

Unclip and spin to block out sun from side.

Have you known about this all along? I'm filing it under 'devilry'.

sunvisors are great except when the sun come through between them around the rar view mirror

If you were to climb aboar a Saab 9-5, you'd find double sun visors... Drop one down, unclip and spin to the side to cover the side windows. Then... there's a second which just flaps down to cover the front screen!

Those crazy swedes!

Done. There are cars without sun visors?

Yes, mine. It can be a right pain in the arse commuting at this time of year.

Curse that the visor is too short to cover the window and you still have a gap between visor and B-pillar.

Do motorbikes have sun visors?

I guess that's why they ran out of money...

Was I supposed to go in to a full rant on number 9?

Elise's. Some owners get a strip to cover the top bit of the windscreen, not sure how good they are...

That's what dark visors are for.
