I have owned and operated a lot of different vehicles. I used to draw from a motorpool that had all kinds of cars and trucks in it. My day started before sunrise. I was often on the road and heading right into a rising sun. The only time I have had holy crap moments with the sun were when I had moisture on my windshield combined with a very low hanging sun.
