233. サングラス
サングラスは、特に太陽が低い場合や濡れた道路、雪などから反射する明るい光の中で、まぶしさを減らし視覚的快適性を高めます。信号、標識、他の道路利用者が明瞭に見えるレンズを選びます。非常に濃いレンズはトンネル、夜間、明るさが変化する状況で視界を低下させるため、安全に見えにくくなる場合は外します。
Can you wear sunglasses while driving in Belgium?
Yes. There is no general prohibition on wearing sunglasses while driving, and the Belgian Federal Police recommends them as a useful way to reduce glare from a low sun. They should not make it harder to see the road safely.
Do sunglasses replace the need to reduce speed when the sun affects visibility in Belgium?
No. Even when wearing sunglasses, drivers must adapt their speed to the available visibility and driving conditions. Sunglasses can reduce glare but cannot eliminate every visibility problem.
What if your Belgian driving licence requires you to wear glasses?
Belgian driving licences can contain medical restriction codes for vision correction, including code 01.01 for glasses and 01.06 for glasses or contact lenses. Drivers must respect any vision-correction requirement shown on their licence.
Can you wear very dark sunglasses while driving in Belgium?
There is no separate general rule setting a specific darkness for ordinary sunglasses, but the driver must still be able to see sufficiently well to drive safely. Lenses that substantially reduce visibility should therefore not be used.
Should sunglasses be removed in tunnels in Belgium?
There is no special Belgian rule requiring sunglasses to be removed in every tunnel, but drivers should remove them if they reduce visibility in the darker environment.
