Thread: Night Driving

  1. #1

    Default Night Driving

    When you're driving in the middle of the night and there's barely any cars on the road do you tend to ignore traffic lights and disobey driving rules?

    I personally don't even though it's not likely that I'll get caught.

    Most of the time I do. But every once in a while the traffic lights will piss me off and stay red for like three minutes when no one's around. So, those are the only red lights I run.

    I disobey them regardless of time or condition anyways. Why take an hour or so to travel 60 miles when you can do it in 45 minutes or less instead?

    I wouldn't ever skip red lights, but I have to own up to driving a little bit faster than I should at night sometimes. I guess with the roads so empty, and no pedestrians about, it feels strange driving so slow. *admonishes self*

    I tend to speed a lot more in the night, well I speed a lot of the time day or night, but I'll take it to a higher speed at night. I do obey most of the other rules though, I dont run lights or anything.

    I can't speed at night, maybe 5 over, but still, I'm too paranoid. We have a lot of road kill, just Sunday night I ran over a dead deer corpse. My friend and I have hit a deer head on once driving home on the highway. But that's just highway driving and the cops are usually out all night watching speed.

    If I'm driving in the nighttime on normal roads, I pretty much go the same speed and obey the traffic rules. I don't really do anything different from when I'm driving during the day. Yet again the cops are usually hidden somewhere off to the side catching drunkards or speeders. I've seen so many people get pulled over a night. If I'm in a hurry to get home because of curfew or something I'll probably drive a bit faster and reckless just to make it on time. ?

    I obey more laws at night because that's a good way to get killed because you're lulled into safety!

    Besides, I'm scared to drive at night, so I stick to the book.

    I pretty much always ignore driving rules and do what's safe. Time of day doesn't matter.

    My god, there was one time I came so close to being completely doomed. I was driving at midnight (or sometime around then), without a license, with passengers, in a car the wasn’t road worthy or registered, and... probably some worse stuff. So that was all breaking the law, right there. Where I got lucky (at least, I thought I was lucky), though, was when I was driving a side road, when I noticed that up ahead, a guy had just been pulled over by a cop. Jesus Christ. I think it was one of those break down nights, when the cops just got loaded up on whatever and pulled over as many people as they could. I was able to get to safety in time, and I didn’t drive again for a good 3 months.


    To answer the question, generally I do stick to the law when I’m driving at night. The roads here seem to be just as dangerous at night as they are at day anyway, so obeying the rules is a good way to survive.

    I'm usually hellbent on obeying the general laws; however, the worst illegal thing I ever did was to drive at like 130 miles an hour on a 60-road.
