I take exception to this. Stephen Send a noteboard - 14/12/2011 06:29:40 PM
Also, driving at night is a lot easier.


I am a mildly competent driver, but driving at night is something I seriously refuse to do. The combination of darkness limiting your vision, people incapable of properly using their lights and the greater likelihood of drunk drivers on the roads make driving at night something I detest.

I would love to drive on empty country roads. Vivien - 13/12/2011 10:08:35 PM 846 Views
I had to take the driving test 3 time before I passed (posted at the wrong place ) Linda - 13/12/2011 11:43:44 PM 922 Views

Seriously? Why? At 13 you should have had some awareness of the danger you were posing to others Vivien - 13/12/2011 10:27:59 PM 957 Views

Probably just a difference in perspective. Kids sneaking a vehicle for a jor ride is pretty common. everynametaken - 15/12/2011 03:51:30 AM 946 Views

It must be harder to overcome that natural fear in NYC. Sareitha Sedai - 13/12/2011 06:44:28 PM 892 Views
Yeah, absolutely. Vivien - 13/12/2011 10:32:25 PM 1038 Views

Isn't it traditional to fail your first test? Or is that just around here? Legolas - 13/12/2011 08:14:01 PM 914 Views
I wouldn't think so Dark Knight - 13/12/2011 08:25:36 PM 806 Views

I wonder how many people that have been driving for years and years would fail if they had to take Tashmere - 14/12/2011 12:03:55 AM 875 Views
Oh I think most people with years' worth of driving experience be fine. Vivien - 14/12/2011 12:27:09 AM 1071 Views

Also, you can tell when there's someone around the corner, because of the headlights. Tim - 19/12/2011 04:18:26 PM 909 Views
Oooh, that's a good point. Vivien - 19/12/2011 05:17:16 PM 1024 Views
It's more pronounced and important in the countryside where there are no streetlights. Tim - 19/12/2011 05:51:25 PM 1025 Views
In the country there are deer aerocontrols - 20/12/2011 05:53:17 AM 917 Views
