If I used my gameboy light in the car I wasn't allowed to be within the area my dad could see in the rearview mirror

    You're god damn right.

    Sorry... I mean... as a dad who did some driving with younger kids at night with their stuff with the backlights. You have to understand that you've just blinded me to everything, and it's also very distracting. But to be fair, it wasn't just the kids. My wife would do the same damn thing with her laptop, and that was a far bigger light. And a far more delicate method of approaching.

    You have some major night blindness. My gf is the same way and any light in the car blinds her. I can drive with the lights on, tablets and gaming systems going, all no issues. She now only drives at night when I am so tired it's dangerous, and often we will just pull over on road trips and sleep for a bit

    I get it. as someone with superb night vision, any amount of light that offsets my ISO can be blinding.

    I can't even drive in cities after dark because it's too difficult to see and everything is just washed out lights.

    put me on a dark rural road without lights and a quarter moon and I can drive without headlights (true story).
