We habitually turn off the lights in the cab when we drive at night, although we don’t know the reason, it’s just a feeling, and many drivers don’t turn on the lights when driving at night , on the one hand, it is in the privacy protection of the car, and on the other hand, it will make you safer to drive, so why is it safer to drive at night without turning on the lights in the cab?
One of the main reasons for not turning on the lights in the cab at night is to provide a better vision. Not turning off the interior lights will affect the driver’s view of the rear mirror inside the car, which is dangerous, so turn off the interior lights when driving at night. If you turn on the lights when driving at night, the lights will refract the light into your eyes, and the light outside the car will not be clear, and accidents will occur because you can’t see clearly. The driver must pay full attention to the outside of the car, especially the road conditions in front of the front of the car and on both sides of the car. When the eyeballs feel the strong light, the pupil will shrink, and the front windshield will have a certain amount of reflection.
Due to the dim light outside the car, the vision outside the window is blurred for a short time, and turning on the lights inside the car at night will affect the driver’s vision. In the same way, you can’t see clearly in the dark. For transparent glass, if the brightness of the side on which the observer is standing is lower than or equal to the brightness of the other side of the glass, the glass is transparent to the observer. If the brightness on one side of the observer is higher than that on the other side of the glass, the glass is equivalent to a mirror for the observer, and the larger the brightness difference, the more obvious the effect of the mirror.
When the car is driving at night, if the cab is turned on, the brightness in the cab will be much higher than that outside the car. For the driver, the mirror effect of the glass is far greater than the light transmission effect, which is equivalent to a mirror. At this time, the driver looks at the windshield in front of the car, which is similar to facing a mirror, and it is easier for him to see the front windshield mirror. The scene in the cab coming out, but the road conditions at the front of the car is not easy to see. Not knowing the road conditions ahead poses a great threat to safe driving. Therefore, from the perspective of safe driving, when the car is driving at night, the lights are generally not turned on in the cab.
