Obviously, we need a law requiring sunscreen (minimum SPF 15+) while driving. Random stops for compliance (via skin samples) can also double as checks for illegal cigarettes or cell phone usage.

Yes, I'm being facetious.

The frightening thing is, without the disclaimer, we'd actually think you were serious.

According to the AAD, most front windshields are designed to block the sun's ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, while side and rear windows are typically designed to block only UVB rays.
Interesting...I didn't know that windshields were designed to block UV rays in the first place.

You didn't think you'd get a nice tan if you had to drive somewhere on a sunny day, did you? ;)

The front glass is generally coated to reduce glare, I think the UVA was just a nice side effect. It also explains why people get "trucker's tans" even while riding without an open window.
