Since my job starts early in the morning, most of the trip I'm driving directly into the morning sunrise. Part of the way I don't need to use a part of my car to block the sun or the visor. Part of the way, I only need to use the part of my car. The rest of the way I need to use the visor which works out very well for me. I can lower it enough to help with my driving and still be able to see the speedometer and the road ahead. It is well worth the money I spend.
