Possibly migraine with aura. Glad to hear you had it checked. What did
the doctor give you to try?

Possibly triggered by bright lights from the drive. Did you mean
evening (dark) or earlier with flickering sunlight. Both the
flickering sunlight and bright lights from oncoming cars could do it.
Or it could have something to do with food or drink you have during
the day or odours you encounter.
