If you can't see an unlit car, you need to either see an optician or

How would you know you have not seen an unlit car?

Because I would have hit it.

Or a serious answer, they're as easy to see as pedestrians, which are
almost always unlit.

Or stating the obvious, cars reflect light, like any object does, so the
streetlamps or your own lights make it visible.

But will you see it in time?


Why are you equating brightness with time?


If you don't have time to stop or take evasive action you can hit it.
You knew that but just wanted to show off.


This has nothing to do with how brightly lit an object is.
