The truth is that the glare is largely his own fault. "There is so much rainy weather during the spring that the motorist seldom encounters t}l_ is situation, but with the coming of dry summer weather and long distance touring over all kinds of roads he is very likely to have the windshield covered with dust as night approaches and never notice it. A good plan is to take a moment to dust off the windsheild whenever lights are turned on, repeating the process at intervals during the evening's drive if the course is over dusty roads. A clean windshield will also obviate a lot of sun ~l~r~ in daytime minimizing the poss1b1hty of an accident as a consequence."
