Is it ok to covee your face when driving?

My daughter will start learning to drive soon but she has got this skin condition so she can not be in direct sunlight.
Is it ok to wear something like this? She has one and she can see perfectly through out but people will not be able to see her face.

Ask the tutor beforehand

The instructor/examiner will likely need to see her eyes, to make sure she is checking in the mirror. But there must be a solution, so have the conversation.

does she wear that in the car as a passenger?

most glass filters UV to a pretty good extent, that's why you don't get sunburned sitting by a closed window.

@LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow Yes she normally wears it in the car when the UV imdex is more than 2. Even when all the windows are closed (our windows are tinted) about 5-10 minutes after her skin would get really painful and it would peel after :(

I would think it’s more something to check with the DVLA. Will she be able to wear that as a licensed driver?

Alternatively, could you put some sort of UV filter on the windows of your car and have someone provide lessons in your own car?

I would be more concerned about the legality and feasibility of driving as a licensed driver.

I'd imagine for driving your dd would need to have a clear visor...you can UV block spectacle lenses to a high degree, so maybe that could be something to look into?

it's going to be the LTF light transmission factor of the tint that will cause any problems for driving. Also if she wears any tinted lenses that may make it more problematic.
