RCMP Traffic Services West is reminding motorists to be safe during today’s solar eclipse. Cst Derek Hayden says drivers need to be aware that it will become dark between 4 and 6 today. He says it’s a good idea to use a visor to block out the event if you are driving and focus on the road. Hayden says motorists should also turn on their lights during the eclipse. He says it’s not a good idea to view or try and record the eclipse with your phone since they may not have the proper filters. There will be a public viewing at the Corner Brook Plaza between 4 and 6 pm and there will be free eclipse viewing glasses at the event.
