Unfortunately most all windshields block UV light and that is why they don't work well while driving. It is kind of the only disadvantage. Like you said, it is a great idea to have a pair of prescription sunglasses for driving. However, another option is to purchase an eyeglass frame that comes with a sunglass clip-on. These are very cool, but I would choose a frame that has the magnetic clip rather for extra ease of removing and inserting. Transitions are activated by UV light.

There are no limitations with Transitions over regular plastic lenses. If you are able to fill your prescription using standard CR-39 plastic, you can fill it with Transitions. You sure can!

When I got them, the doctor specifically told me not to expect to have them change while in the car because windshields in almost all cars are already UV protectant, and transitions change shade via UV light.
