Not true actually.
At night flying VFR in clear skies with a night rating you can see the South coast of England from the Channel Islands at 5,000 feet and both major shipping lanes traffic ahead or beneath you.
If the weather was bad then it may well have been zero visibility and a non IMC pilot … someone unqualified for the conditions …. should not have been flying at all, let alone with a passenger. AJMHO.
