Which visor to buy: external or internal

A traditional saying in the language of motorists can be voiced as follows: hope for glasses, but do not forget about a visor. It is about these elements of the exterior that will be discussed today.

Why you need a visor

In total, there are 4 types of protection for the driver's eyes from the bright sun or snow glare: film, sunglasses, antifar system and the visor itself. Most drivers prefer to tint the windows with a film. But here a series of surprises awaits the driver. Traffic police inspectors are actively fighting such protection. They cite different arguments - from the deterioration of the view due to excessive shading to the impossibility of identifying the driver on the camera for fixing offenses or speed. Plus, not every film is suitable for use in the countries of the Customs Union.

Almost all of the above nuances apply to glasses with anti-headlights. Ideally, anti-glare glasses should be prescribed by the attending physician, taking into account the characteristics of the patient's vision. In practice, people buy their own glasses, paying dearly for it with their health.

But the visor will not affect the factors of visibility or the health of the driver. It will not get lost like glasses, and will not raise suspicion of the traffic inspector.

Getting to know closer

This part is small in size and is attached to the ceiling of the vehicle, reliably protecting the eyes of the driver. After a while, such phenomena as squinting or dry eyes disappear. By its design, the visor can be external or internal. Let's consider them in more detail.

External

Suitable for exterior body tuning. Attaches to both windshield and rear windows. It is not able to fully guarantee protection, especially during periods of low sun - morning and evening. But throughout the rest of the day, in foggy weather or at night, such protection is justified.

If we talk about aerodynamic properties, then the visor does not have a significant effect on them. Much worse is an open sunroof, an overloaded trunk, or open windows. In short, any non-streamlined object.

The installation process is best done with two people. One person holds the visor, and the second marks the places of holes in the body no more than one millimeter in diameter. The holes must match the location of the standard visor holes. The visor itself is fixed with a sealant and tightened with self-tapping screws. Strongly protruding elements can be decoratively putty.

These protections were popular with car owners. But now any jewelry will have to be registered with a stamp in the passport. And this is additional trouble.

Interior

The inner visor is installed with a clip over the standard one. Its type of construction is called day-night. It is divided into two stripes - yellow, which eliminates glare at night with an efficiency of 73%, and dark gray, which increases clarity in snowfall, glare or fog.

The advantages of such filtration are obvious - protection is provided at all times. It is convenient to adjust it - raise up, lower or set the desired light filter without any extra effort, without being distracted from the control of the car. With lateral blinding, it can be rotated 180 degrees. You don't even need to get out of the car! And the final argument in favor of the inner visor is that it does not need to be registered.

Top Models

Most of the popular models can be purchased on AliExpress or similar. Thousands of inexpensive models are available in the catalog, both for universal purposes and for specific machines. Consider the best options for visors.

Conclusions and contexts

The recommendations are given in the context of changes in Russia. In other countries, things may be different. Each car owner chooses either a warm-up to adjust the outer visor, or the comfort from using the inner one.

Traditionally, one visor is installed in the car for the driver, but if the car is training, then it is recommended to install a combination of internal and external visors to reduce glare of both drivers - student and teacher.
