I think drivewear is a bit dark for night time use. I do wish it went a tiny bit lighter OR a tiny bit more yellow for darker use. That being said, I have been known to do long drives home from hikes where it starts light and is dark by the time I get home, and I end up not trying to swap glasses in mid drive, and its really not a hazard or problem. I don't think the oncoming lights are a significant issue, just as driving from bright sun into a dark parking garage doesn't plunge you into blindness like a dark tint pair of sunglasses.
The Drivewear does tint in the sun in the car, but it doesn't seem to get quite as dark as being out in blazing sun on a snowfield or something. But I find its plenty dark for driving, especially with the polarizing effect to cut glare. I really feel they are overall one of the better compromises for ALL around use. But note...I said compromise. Just a TINY bit lighter/ yellower at the light end would be perfection.
