damned if you do not,
wear sunglasses that is whilst driving in the UK, like Motoring
television presenter Jeremy Clarkson driving in his shades (Image: Daily
Mirror), if your shades are too dark wearing
them while you drive could land you with a £2,500 fine and nine points on
your licence, but, and here is the kicker, rule 237 of the Highway Code states
that drivers must slow down or pull over if dazzled by bright sunlight - so if
you don't, and you're not wearing sunglasses to protect you from the glare then
you could be convicted of careless driving, the offence means an on-the-spot
fine of £100 and up to three penalty points on your licence - or you could go
to court and face up to £2,500 in a fine and nine points, for the full story have a look here, what a nice little
earner for the boys in blue!
