Correct answer
- CSí, para evitar el deslumbramiento del sol.Yes, to avoid being dazzled by the sun.
Explanation
It is a good idea to make sure your journey does not coincide with sunrise or sunset, to avoid being dazzled. If the sun is in front of you and very low on the horizon, it will dazzle you, even if you use your vehicle's sun visor.
