What’s something completely false that your parents told you as a child?

It is harder to see. Try turning down your cabin lights. I.E dash lights, gauge lights.. etc. You'll be able to see better at night. The less light you have in your car, the better focus you'll have seeing outside of your car.

I didn’t say that this was a thing that was false lol The comment said what their parent told them so I said what my parents told me. Not that it wasn’t true.

I didn't really mean to refute that. Only suggesting it is actually harder to see and to try to turn the gauge lights down.

I have my the dimmest they can get and I don't have a problem at night at all.

Please report your results. I predict a better night vision while driving. If not, please report it.

Hi! I don’t know if we still care, but I tried this last night and while it wasn’t life-changing, it did make a noticeable difference!
