Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, driving with the interior (courtesy) light on at night is dangerous and ill-advised. The main reason is physical and biological: interior lighting causes reflections on the windshield, creating a mirror effect that prevents you from seeing what is outside. Furthermore, the human eye adapts to the nearest light source (the interior), drastically reducing the ability to perceive obstacles in the darkness of the road. While it may be necessary to turn it on momentarily to look for something urgent, it should never be kept on while driving.
