Driving glasses could have car insurance impact

Motorists looking to make save money on their car insurance have been advised by recent research to drive in the correct glasses.

Many drivers take to the roads in a standard pair of sunglasses on a sunny day to shield their eyes from the glare of the sun, but What Car? believes that drivers should actually be wearing a suitable pair of driving glasses.

Driving glasses have polarised lenses which improves visibility because they remove the glare of the road, while also reducing the strain on a driver's eyes, making their trip that little bit more safer.

Motorists who hit the road in dark glasses should also be warned that this is in fact more dangerous than wearing no glasses at all, according to the What Car?, because it allows their irises to open up and let in more harmful ultra-violet rays.

Wearing driving glasses could make a motorist much safer on the road, reducing their risk of an accident, which in turn could prevent them claiming on their car insurance policy and receiving higher car insurance quotes in the future.

And European car drivers are focused on cost, according to Fairinvestment.co.uk, which found that motorists look at the cost of car insurance ahead of anything else when taking out a new policy.
