Night driving or day driving?
Discussion
As the title says - what's your preference? Do you enjoy a back road hoon in the daytime so you can see what's around you and any animal fodder that may run out in front of you, or do you prefer the late night runs where you can see oncoming headlight beams round corners and most roads are arguably quieter than in the daylight hours.
Personally I've always been a daytime driver, I like being able to see around me and see whatI've just run over unlit items are to my sides, but recently I've found a bit of an interest in late night driving. Coming home from a friend's earlier I took the back roads home and it was absolutely fantastic. I cracked open a beer when I got back and I wish I hadn't done now as I want to go out for a drive again.

Night time for me.
I learnt to drive one winter taking a lesson per week after work which meant I was learning in the dark driving around country lanes as I lived out in the sticks. The first time I drove in the daylight was the day I took my test in the local town where surprisingly there was other traffic about. Things didn't get off to a good start when the first thing I did after switching on the engine was turning on the full beams (as one does when you've only ever driven at night), realising what I'd done and then muttering something about just checking to the examiner. Amazingly I didn't hit anything, and even more amazingly I passed. Still prefer driving in the dark though.

Blasting home with the roof down on a summer night has to be one of my favourite drives. That's the one time I feel like I pushed my car hard... the noise of it cooling down whilst stinking of rubber and oil on the drive when I got home was the best, too. Hot cars smell great... I'm weird....
