QOTD: How Do You Avoid Sunglass Polarization?
This is a QOTD about polarization. Thankfully, not political polarization.
No, no, not that. It's late summer and it's sunny a lot. I, like most drivers, wear sunglasses often while behind the wheel. I also test a lot of cars, and sometimes the polarization of my glasses can blur out gauges or control screens.
So, I ask of you, how do you avoid this in your own life?
Is it as simple as just using a certain brand of shades? Is this something you think of when car shopping, so you use reviews to avoid it (I bet you Smile States readers think about this)? Do you not care at all? Do you have another tip or trick? Or do you just raise your glasses and risk a few extra seconds of distracted driving?
You know what to do. Sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
