Driving Linked To Higher Left Side Skin Cancer Risk

March 17, 2025

It may surprise you, but your car’s windows could be exposing you to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays—especially on the driver’s side. In fact, research has shown higher incidences of skin cancer on the left side of the body among people in countries where drivers sit on the left (1). Here’s why, and how window tint can be part of the solution.

Why Your Driver’s Side is at Risk

According to a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, a higher proportion of skin cancers in the United States occur on the left side of the body, correlating with the driver’s side window.
