Pretty much every car driver I have come across would agree that driving at night is a bad idea.
Oncoming traffic lights are blinding, there are often no streetlights, and just the thought of getting waylaid or stranded in the middle of the night is enough to keep most night drivers at bay.
Not one fellow I met recently, who has been driving for decades now though.
I’m sure he didn’t have a choice, and driving at night was an occupational hazard for him. But he didn’t let that deter him.
With a wide smile, he explained how he loves driving at night. “The air is pure and clean, and there is less traffic. It is also safer, because I don’t need to depend on my horn, because my powerful headlights take care of visibility.”
Despite not being put in a good situation (“having to regularly drive at night”), he had totally accepted it, and was even selling the proposition to others! Quite the mindset to deal with adversity.
