When driving at night, our eyes dilate to let in more light. Then, when the lights of an oncoming car hits us, the pupil tries to contract, causing the pain we feel.
I discovered something on a long road trip to visit my kids in Massachusetts a few years ago. If you leave a light on inside the car, the pupils don't contract as much, and thusly, you don't get the eye pain when meeting another vehicle. The light could be the dome light, the lighted vanity mirrors or maybe a reading light.
Someone I told this technique to told me they thought it was illegal to have a light on inside the car while driving at night.
So, Officers, what say you? Legal and okay? Illegal and I'm going to be in big trouble? Or...?
Thanks for the info!
