Once your SEESAFER® PROTECTIVE SHIELD" is in place, just ignore it, it will do the job for you, if you're lined it up correctly at your own comfortably eye-level, then there should not be any problems, however you have to bear in mind, like anything new or something were not accustomed too, you have to give it a bit of time before you become used to it, it may seem a little strange at first having something just out side of your line of vision, but once you're used to it will pay dividends in it's benefits to you, you will begin to take it for granted that you're no longer having to squint, turn your head away or being blinded by glaring headlights.

Trim it down a bit-We basically sell THE SEESAFER® PROTECTIVE SHIELD" sized at 4" x 8" so that there is enough length to fit vehicles with large windscreens such as 4 x 4's. However we has noticed that for the average size vehicle’s windscreen a 6" length of THE SEESAFER® PROTECTIVE SHIELD" may feel more at ease for the user, so if you notice that that is the case for you, simply get some scissors and trim it down a little.

When a vehicle tailgates another or comes to a halt at a junction or traffic lights, the powerful beam from the headlights can temporally blind the recipient driver via the reflection from there own side-view mirrors, particularly in the hours of darkness and with the recent introduction of the new high powered xenon headlights and that of the widespread menace of illegally hybrid high wattage halogen light bulbs that are now flooding the worldwide market, night driving is becoming more uncomfortable and even dangerous in many cases.

Rear View Mirrors-Many but not all interior rear-view mirrors have a anti-glare knob, that when pushed down, it puts the mirror at a slight oblique angle, thus allowing you to see a darkened reflection as opposed to it's normal clear mirror image, however the problem with this, at night, especially on country lanes, unlit motorways and duel carriageways, to be able see anything becomes virtually nil in vision, apart from this problem it is also very dangerous as many drivers often forget they still have there rear-view mirror on it's anti-glare setting, so even though their now in a well lit area and there is no need to have the mirror in it's anti-glare position, they unfortunately still have, and it is normally times such as these when accidents are most likely to happen, just when a driver needs to see how close the car is behind them because they need to suddenly brake, Bang! it's to late.

The Seesafer Protective Shield can also be used to help reduce the full-beam glare from vehicles headlights that presently bounces off and reflects back through via the motor cars side-view and rear view mirrors, this problem often arises at night time and once a vehicle appears from behind you and decides to have their headlights on full beam, specifically tailgaters and when you come to a halt at a junction or traffic lights, the powerful beam from the headlights can temporally blind the recipient driver via the reflection from there own side-view mirrors, particularly in the hours of darkness and with the recent introduction of the new high powered xenon headlights and that of the widespread menace of illegally hybrid high wattage halogen light bulbs that are now flooding the worldwide market, night driving is becoming more uncomfortable and even dangerous in many cases. Because most vehicles have different shaped wing and rear-view mirrors, it would be difficult to make a 'Protective Shield' to cover all ranges, however:-

Tips and advice :

1. Driving Abroad - Follow instructions as above, however if you are driving a 'Right-Hand' vehicle on a 'Left-Hand' Road then you will have to reposition your SEESAFER® PROTECTIVE SHIELD™ to compensate for this difference, so instead of placing the SEESAFER® PROTECTIVE SHIELD™ in it's 'normal' position, you will this time reposition it somewhere in the 'middle' of your windscreen/shield (not the CVA) so as to prevent the oncoming glare from the kind of angle and direction you will now notice the beam is coming from, so for example if driving a right-hand vehicle, you would place the product at your desired eye level and on your left hand side of the windscreen/shield, approximately underneath where your rear view mirror is placed.

2. Left hand drive vehicles - Follow instructions as above only vice versa. 3. Front Passenger Protection - By placing an additional SEESAFER® PROTECTIVE SHIELD™ for your passenger they too can avoid being dazzled (especially over long journeys) by simply putting into place the same way as above only this time at their eye-level and slightly to the left of them and approximately in the centre of the windscreen/shield just underneath the rear view mirror, if driving abroad they would place it starting at the edge of the screen on their side of the vehicle, and again vice versa applies if driving a left-hand vehicle. *Just following normal instructions on how to fit, placing in position at the eye-level of your passenger.

**Left hand drive or driving abroad, just follow normal instructions on how to fit, making sure you place in the correct position your SEESAFER® PROTECTIVE SHIELD™ so as to prevent the oncoming headlight glare from impairing your vision.*** Note:- Make sure the surface of the windscreen is clean of dirt and grease before you attempt to lay on your SEESAFER® PROTECTIVE SHIELD™ *Full instructions & recommendations inside with product.

Since 2004 Amendments to Section 32 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations were made which made use of fully tinted windscreens illegal, until then they were legal, however the 4" x 8" (100mm x 205mm) transparent SEESAFER® PROTECTIVE SHIELD™ helps in eliminating approximately 30% of oncoming headlight glare which is enough to take the edge of the sheer dazzle without blocking out your view or all around vision (For a full detailed report and more information on this subject read our Modern Day Menace Page).
