Question: Glare from the sun can be reduced by:

Answer options: ✅ Cleaning the inside of the windshield

• Looking at the sun directly
• Removing the visor
• Using high beams

Correct answer: Cleaning the inside of the windshield

Explanation: Cleaning the inside of the windshield is correct because dust and film buildup scatter light, intensifying blinding sun glare. In contrast, looking directly at the sun can cause temporary blindness, removing the visor eliminates a primary defense against overhead glare, and using high beams is ineffective during daylight hours. SAAQ safe-driving guidelines emphasize maintaining optimal visibility by keeping all glass surfaces spotless and utilizing built-in safety features like visors. On the SAAQ theory test, questions of this nature assess your practical knowledge of vehicle maintenance and preventative vision habits to ensure safe driving under challenging light conditions.
