Is it a bad idea to fly VFR at night and navigate by following

much else that's visible. It seems to me that if you can clearly see
the highway, it can guide you and you can get a good idea of where
you are with respect to terrain, so it should work. Are there hidden
dangers in this? Do night VFR pilots ever/often navigate by
following highways? What other forms of visual navigation are usable
at night?

Why would you want to when VORs ang GPSs are available?


If you're flying a no radio airplane?

Then I guess I would follow roads, but might buy a handheld GPS if I was
going to do a lot of this.
