Coping with bright sunlight & deep shadows?
Posted: Mon Jun 29, 2015 9:22 pm
After recently starting my new commute (Knighton (Powys) to Craven Arms, using the A4113 & B4367), I've noticed that quite often, there can be extremely deep shadows extending from the nearside hedgerows, taking up about half a lane's width. Combined with the remainder of the road being in bright sunlight, it makes it seem almost impossible to see into many of the darker shadows, even when slowed right down!
Sunglasses (polarized) seem to help some - they cut out the windscreen reflections from the interior being lit up by the sunlight and reduce the intensity of the brightly lit part of the road, but they don't seem to help much with the deep shadows.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, have you found any good ways of coping with, or reacting to it?
Cheers
