The editorial staff of the AvtoVzglyad portal received a letter from a curious reader who asked us a question: in Russia is there any liability for turning on
In fact, the traffic rules in plain Russian say that drivers both in the dark and during the day, to identify vehicles, are obliged to use low beam or daytime running lights. But absolutely nothing is said about the fact that the driver or passengers are prohibited from turning on the interior lights.
Even when you drive at night. Simply put, it is not a responsibility to want to illuminate the interior of a car. However, there is something else more important. Lights activated in the interior have an adverse effect on driving safety. And here’s why.
When you turn on the lighting in the cabin while driving in pitch darkness, the sensitivity of the retina to light is significantly reduced. In other words, visual acuity deteriorates. To put it even more simply, the driver begins to respond worse to external stimuli overboard and is less effective at distinguishing unlit objects.
In addition, the driver may become distracted, “confused” and misjudge the location of other cars on the roadway and the distance to them and between them. In addition, the eyes become tired from external light sources that intensively reduce attention.
It is much worse if the car windshield is dirty or has scuffs and scratches. In the evening and at night, a lamp switched on in the cabin causes glare on the plywood, which distracts attention from the road and limits visibility. This effect can also be enhanced by the headlights of oncoming traffic. Therefore, it is best not to illuminate the interior lighting fixtures completely, but point by point, that is, on one side of the interior decoration. This will be both more comfortable and safer.
