Study shows over-sized sunnies are a safety hazard on the roads

WOMEN drivers are risking their lives on the roads because fashionable over-sized sunnies obstruct their view.

Road safety experts claim big sunglasses, including the chunky, wide-armed varieties favoured by celebs including Posh Spice and Kylie Minogue, are a safety hazard.

A Britsh survey found more than 80 per cent of women failed to take safety into account when choosing sunglass, according to The Daily Mail.

Do you put fashion before safety when buying sunnies?

And one in ten drive wearing glasses that "severely restrict their peripheral vision".

Pink tinted lenses can make it difficult to read road signs or spot hazards by distorting colours and wide-armed glasses create blind spots.

Aviator style glasses that curve around the eyes and have slim arms are recommended, along with anti-reflective lenses coloured in neutral brown or grey shades.
