Yes and even less wear sunglasses, no matter how fast they go in the back of a pickuptruck or motocy...Also at night when there's loads of insects they don't need them. Glasses don't work if you have a flat nose i guess, they will slip off or don't fit well. Or maybe you can see the flat nose too well, they don't like that.
