Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
I meant because of the sun light
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
Definitely use blinds safety first.
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
Have a set of sunglasses that are totally awesome, requiring no sunblind usage
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
I pull my blind down and because I’m small it still doesn’t cover my eyes.

Callaway golf hat and Oakley shades.

It doesn’t come down far enough to make any difference this time of year.
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
No sunglasses do the job better
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
For the shorties moaning that the blinds don't come down far enough, just raise your seat up, simples. Lol
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
It was said in jest, but never mind.

All good things come in small packages
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
If it wasn't for blinds it'd be curtains for us all. lol

A passenger may want to see where they are going but the driver needs to.

Not a fan of the sun blinds unless the sun is really low. I prefer to use sunglasses. Is great to feel the sun beaming through the screen when we have it Some drivers seem to choose to drop the blinds when it’s cloudy / dark as if they are hiding or have bad eyes. Unless they can’t be bothered to make them look neat!

Wear sun glasses. and then add a peaked hat for the "low sun" days.. Blinds been up or down, working/Not working or pax been able to see or not won't be an issue..

Sunglasses all the way for me. Sore head material if not worn. Often get passengers asking for blinds up so they can see, even tho they get blinded by the sun too, but, customers always right

What if you wear prescription sunglasses like me? changing them on the move isn't ideal.
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
Unless tech has improved their performance varies with the level of prescription and not always too well behind glass.

Most don't work behind windscreens as the screen is already polarized

One of the reasons I started wearing contacts was trying to change glasses while drivingMarMarsherry wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 7:23 pmI do anyway.trewayerJigg wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 7:23 pmMake you look like a weirdo tooMarMarsherry wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 7:22 pm

Anyone bought a new washing machine lately? Can I have the door off the old one ?
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
I have some progressive tinted polarised prescription sun glasses and will wear a cap when needed. If I need to use the blinds... I use them

Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
Sunglasses? I sit so low anyway so the sun blind doesn’t do a lot for me
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
It can be a compromise, but ultimately your vision has to take priority.
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
I dont like them down as it blocks their view,when the winter suns low i look at the relection in the windscreen and if i see them holding their hands up for shade i'll roll the down just as far as their eye level...

Our blinds cover the mirrors before the block the sun...
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
Coming south at this time of year it's a combo of sun glasses and blind ...
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
Blinds so I can see safely so goes down. Front window is for me to see through passengers have the side windows.
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
Blind, but because I’m a short arse, I also use sun glasses
Re: Okay guys and girls what’s the views on using the sunblinds with passengers sat behind you?? Seen so many drivers
I have a sun visor so my head doesn't get too hot and my hair doesn't get squashed I also asked my passengers if they want the blinds down a bit

As a retired driver now enjoying the delights of coach travel, I hate those blinds. A truly professional Alpha driver told me recently he never uses them if at all possible and depends on sun glasses and a big-peaked cap. Cheers, mate.
