Riding into the sun? Blue painters tape layered as tear-offs on his face shield to act as a visor would have really helped. Looks kinda dorky, but works great.

Blinded by the light?
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night! Ouch. |

Looks like he shouldve been a little proactive and slowed down to a controllable speed......lacking clear vision and all

Left lane is for slow traffic in England.... Quoted: Looks like he shouldve been a little proactive and slowed down to a controllable speed......lacking clear vision and all Yep. He was just starting to slow down, but he should have done it several seconds earlier. If you can't stop in the distance you can see, you're driving too fast. |

When blinded by sun, proceed to accelerate until you can see again

At the track, they used to say that most problems are solved by getting on the gas.
On the gas when you can't see? Maybe not the best idea. |

He didn't say directly, but he did mention a dual carriageway, and opposing traffic is on his right, and he's going around a roundabout counter-clockwise (sorry anticlockwise).

From the comments:
Haven't you guys ever heard of that ancient Chinese proverb... "When blinded by the sun, one can assume other mans ox cart is also blinded by sun". |

You may be onto something there. Saw that. Other guy obviously couldn't see shit either and slowed down appropriately. This tool bag just figured he'd ride it out. You can hear him in his own video saying he can't see shit |

My worst nightmare after plowing into a parked car on my bicycle drunk. While riding my motorcycle I try not to take my eyes off the road.

To be honest in my car there have been times where I couldn't see very well at all even with polarized glasses. Being on the highway however slowing down would have been even less safe because going 40 (which is about as safe as I should have been doing) = huge accident.
Some lady in town killed a cyclist in a similar matter. Totally couldn't see him. After other drivers stated they couldn't see shit nor the cyclist she wasn't charged. So I guess the lesson for motorcyclists is also "if you can't see shit neither can anybody else". |
