Just to be clear, this will happen ANY TIME you stare at the sun. News agencies and school boards seem to think that the eclipse is somehow more dangerous than the sun is on any other day.
A coworker asked me if I had any eclipse glasses, and when I said I didn't, she replied "guess I'll have to drive home with my eyes closed". Another one told me she didn't want anything to do with the eclipse, and that she'd stay inside with the blinds closed.
Misunderstandings and misinformation are out of hand.
To be fair, there wouldn't be a difference between driving with eclipse glasses and driving with your eyes closed.
Yep, kindly asked her to not attempt driving with eclipse glasses on.
