Car Safety

Have you ever noticed that your left arm seems darker than your right after a long-haul drive? It’s because while the laminated windshield provides sun protection at the front of a car, UV rays can still come in through the side and back windows. Tinting your windows (make sure you stay within the legal limits in your state) or using a window shade can cut down on UV rays entering the car. Sunscreen is still a must, though, especially if you spend long stretches in a car.
