UK drivers advised to use suitable category 2 sunglasses to avoid £5,000 fines, penalty points, or invalidated car insurance. Inappropriate sunglasses, such as darker or bulky styles, can limit visibility and pose safety risks. The Highway Code requires sunglasses to have a category number, with category two considered safe for driving. Drivers should slow down or pull over if dazzled by sunlight and ensure their vision is not compromised.
