Sun Visor

The first year I came to the Bay Area, I immediately love the weather. What a nice California sunshine! Later on, I start to feel the sun light is a bit too strong for me. Especially when I drive on freeway, the sun light keep hitting my face and I hate it. More little dark dot appears on my face. My wife said this will become skin cancer and it freaks me out.

Recently, I see many women, Asian mostly, wear Transparent Sun Visors (as shown on photo) during lunch break walking. My first reaction, they looks so hilarious. They looks like Power Rangers. Later on, I see someone even wear the visors when driving. That's ridiculous! But on a second though, perhaps I can give it a try ...

So I bought one of those visor and sometimes wear this when driving. It really helps block the sunlight and I feel more comfortable. There are a few side effects though. Other drivers keep looking at you and think you are crazy or something. The good news is they tend to back off away your car. Also beware other drivers can't have your eye contact. It is not a good driving practice, so I don't wear it when drive in local.
