I was always told you can't have the lights on inside the car when driving at night. It was against the law because it could cause an accident. Is that true?

When I think back to first getting my driver's license I think of some of the things I learned in order to pass the written test.

You know ... things like who has the right of way at a four-way stop intersection. (You should yield the right of way to the driver who arrived at the intersection first.)

And how to shove my left arm out the driver's side window to signal left turn, right turn, and stop. (Not fun on a cold midwest winter day.)

And I'm pretty sure I learned along the way that you can't drive down the highway with the dome lights on in your car because it would make it difficult for you to see out and you could cause an accident.

So is it Illegal to drive at night with the lights on inside your vehicle in Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota?

The answer is...NO...it is not.

According to Carsaguide.com, “No, it's not illegal to drive with your interior lights on as there's no legislation mandating whether people can, or cannot, legally drive with interior lighting.”

It makes me wonder what other rules of the road I'm screwed up about??
