> All of a sudden, your visibility in front of

> Make sure you always have a pair of SUN

> Try it yourself and share it with your

>
> You can see where the rain bounces off the road.?
> It works to eliminate the "blindness"

> The patrolman said this warning should be listed, on
> the driver's seat
> sun-visor - NEVER USETHE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE PAVEMENT
> IS WET OR ICY, along with the airbag warning. We
