Back in the '90s, a sales rep from several companies that were suppliers, he flew a nice Cessna single, can't remember which one. He was IFR rated but said he didn't fly at night, even VFR, because if he had to set it down, you just can't see a thing. Not if a field is hard or plowed or planted, not wires over a road, sometimes not even the road if in a rural area. Once seen, landing lights can help, but again, can't see the road to find it, nor the wires if you did.
