Can I Wear Sunglasses While Learning to Drive?
2 Answers
You can wear sunglasses while learning to drive at a driving school. The main purpose of sunglasses is to block strong sunlight, reduce the impact of light on the eyes, and prevent accidental traffic incidents. However, it is not recommended to wear sunglasses during driving lessons because they are not allowed during the Subject 2 test, to avoid discomfort during the exam. Therefore, it is advisable not to develop the habit of wearing sunglasses while learning to drive. The content of the driver's license test includes: 1. Subject 1 theory test, which is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment; 2. Subject 2 test items include reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curved path; 3. Subject 3 is the road driving skills test for motor vehicle drivers; 4. Subject 4 theory test, which is part of the driver's theoretical assessment.
Wearing sunglasses while learning to drive is perfectly acceptable, and I think it's a quite practical approach. When the sunlight is glaring, wearing them can reduce glare and help me see the road conditions and dashboard more clearly. Remember to choose polarized sunglasses, as they can better filter out strong light without affecting visibility. However, be aware that some places may have rules against wearing them during driving lessons or tests, such as instructors worrying it might interfere with judging traffic light colors. During my own driving lessons, I found that wearing sunglasses under bright sunlight made me much more comfortable and improved my focus. But avoid using them on cloudy days or in tunnels, as reduced light can cause issues. Also, don't choose lenses that are too dark—ensure they have adequate light transmission for safety. In short, adjust according to the weather and keep a pair of regular glasses handy just in case, making the learning process smoother.
