Maybe. I have seen claims on both sides of this, including law enforcement claiming the moth theory to be false.
Doing environmental night work with road crews over an 11 month period, we watched 4 drunks simply drive off the road and hit unlit objets. None of them came close to hitting the special duty police car with lights on assigned to be at the site.
Motorist driving without their headlights off, on average, was an every night occurrence.
