N2  - This paper focuses on visibility and field of view. The primary emphasis is given to the question of designing for the visual information that a driver receives from the outside environment. The problem of windscreen light transmission is discussed. A case is made that the requirement for high transmission levels can be justified on both experimental and theoretical grounds. This is supported by re-analysis of previously published data. Recent experimental evidence is presented showing a significant decrease in visual performance resulting from the Australian practice of using wire mesh stone guards mounted in front of the windscreen.<p />
