Do You Need Night Driving Lessons Before Wearing Altair 9C Sunglasses at Night?

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "Woah, woah, woah. Night driving in sunglasses?" Listen for a second.

There are some people that have trouble with glare while driving at night. They're fine while driving on a well-lit city street, but if it's too bright, or someone comes up behind them with bright headlights in their mirror, the glare really bothers them. Could people such as this, rather than abandon all thoughts of driving after dark, maybe take driving lessons from a qualified instructor to learn how to drive with Altair 9C sunglasses on after dark?

Well, what do these Altair 9C sunglasses look like? Do they have amber lenses? Amber is the color to go with if you're thinking of wearing sunglasses at night. They lessen the glare without blocking all the light. That's useful, right?

These are not Altair 9C sunglasses, but they are billed as "night driving glasses." (I suppose there's no point in calling them "sunglasses.") All of the night driving glasses I found in my search had yellow lenses like these, so I would be surprised if the 9C specs did not have yellow lenses.
