This may sound like a joke, but I'm always surprised how many folks I see driving with their sun glasses on after sunset. I guess they forget they have them on...wow my eyes are really getting bad all of a sudden.
One of the items on our fatal MVA checklist is the condition of the windshield, dirty (inside and out, cig smoke, etc), scratched, cracked or broken. Wiper blades, worn or missing, etc, etc, etc.
