Final answer:
The police should be skeptical of a claim that the driver was blinded by the moon, as the moon's brightness is generally insufficient to cause significant vision impairment that would lead to a car accident.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question regards whether the police should believe a driver who claims to have been blinded by the Moon during a car accident occurring around midnight on the night of a full moon. In general, while the Moon can be bright, especially during a full moon, it is unlikely to blind someone to the point of causing an accident.
The brightness of the full moon is not comparable to the brightness of the sun or even artificial lights that can cause temporary blindness or glare. It is important for the police to investigate other factors that could have contributed to the accident such as the driver's vision, potential distractions, or even impairment due to substances.
