2017 Solar Eclipse: An Amazing Driving Distraction

8/18/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
This coming Monday, August 21, we will have the opportunity to see a total eclipse of the sun which hasn’t happened since June 8, 1918. (This is more rare than getting to see a perfect game pitched in baseball). If you are driving during this time, it will be quite noticeable that something strange is going on, and if you have any curiosity at all, you will want to see what it is. But looking at the eclipse will be more dangerous than texting while driving because of what it will do to your eyesight.

We were all cautioned as kids to not stare at the sun as it will burn your retinas, but when unusual things happen, we will often throw caution to the wind and take a chance. Yet it is one thing to ruin your own eyesight, but if you cause an accident in the process, injuring other people, this is a chance one should not take. If you want to see the eclipse, please be off the road and take the precautions given at the Weather Network web site. If you have to be driving, please keep your eyes on the road so you can avoid those drivers who choose to drive distracted.
Be safe out there!
