NOTE: Due to a recent influx of questions, Trooper Steve decided to revisit a topic he first answered in 2018. Natasha, of Apopka, asked Trooper Steve if it is illegal to drive with your car’s dome light on. “But after searching the Internet and reading several different traffic laws, I’ve found nothing that singles out the dome light specifically. Now, there are laws that talk about ‘interior lights,’ but nothing that mentions the dome light.”Although the law may not say that driving with your dome light is illegal, Montiero said it’s not the safest thing to do. “Think about the distraction that you are placing at night on a driver when that dome light is on,” he said.
