sunstrike
/ˈsʌnstrʌɪk/noun [mass noun] NZ
The dazzling effect of sun shining through a driver’s windscreen at a low angle: blinded by sunstrike, he hit the back of her bike with his truck...
- Sunstrike is thought to be a factor in a two-car collision on a busy stretch of Northland highway yesterday.
- It appeared a motorist had pulled out of a driveway and was headed towards Whangarei when they slowed for sunstrike.
- The best thing is heading up the hill, when sunstrike hits the car, it is no longer just a blinding white flash.
