Witnessed a car crash a few years ago right in front of me because of this. I was the second car in line heading south at a traffic light. When our light turned green, a car heading west in the late afternoon ran the red light and smashed into the car in front of me.
I saw them coming and said, “Watch out!” but of course that did no good. The driver of the westbound car said she lost the traffic light in the sun and didn’t realize it was red. I have no idea why you’d continue on at 40 mph if you weren’t sure you had a green light, but here we are.
I had chosen that route home intentionally to avoid driving into the sun. Had I been the first car in that line, I might have been involved in the crash despite my caution.
Excellent!
Never *LIVE west of your job unless you work nights
(previously used the word “work” which made it redundant sorry)
I do and it blows. In fall the sun will be lower in the sky when I go home and reflect perfectly off the road so that everything is blinding.
Eh, I just took out a restraining order and changed to a night shift and now the sun never bothers me.
restraining order
Against the sun…? Can you do that??
I do. Its only a problem for about 3-4 weeks every year though. After that, the sun is high enough in the morning to not bother anyone.
Counted one crash due to this on my commute this year.Nice, new job search constraint
My experience with Australia so far.

I don’t think the artist is implying that people driving to work “deserve” it. Just that it happens by nature of a typical commute time with sunrise and sunset.
ill say it, these east going zax are soft and uncultured, compared to us far superior west going zax.
So I guess next time you look for a house/job, make sure the house is east of your job so you have the sun in the back in the morning and in the evening.

Huh, couldn’t be that they are driving east in the morning.
Don’t be as smart as your screen name.
