| I mostly ride bike. Sometimes on highway and mostly in City. I prefer day driving becasue. Positive points: I am able to see the traffic. Better visiblity in natural light. Most of other road users know I am on the road. ( Its totally different they dont act in disciplined manner ). Negatives: Useless cops and traffic jam, scenes that would give Mental Hospital patients a cardiac arrest. Night: I dont perfer driving in the night. Positives: Excellent situation to test your luck and to know if God persists. Negatives: Each and every headlight in high beam or low beam targetting at my eyes. I cant see road nor pedestrians. Just blinding headlights. More senseless driving. People are not aware what they are doing. Even hitler knew he was doing wrong thing. But here its really more bad.

| Day driving any Day! There is no doubt that day driving is safer in every way. Many positives of day and negatives of night driving have been mentioned; I will not repeat them. Shops, eateries, fuel pumps, service stations etc are always open during the day. Quote:

I know this is an old joke but once it actually happened to me in the city around 10 PM. A two wheeler rider kept coming for the middle of my bonnet from the opposite direction and I braked rapidly. He had the gumption to tell me that he thought it was two 2 wheelers and he could go in between the two head-lights - no doubt he was drunk to kingdom come.Quote:

| BHPian | Have seen many people including me mis-judge distances of oncoming traffic at night. Fully agree with you. Dear Murugan, When you are not able to judge the distance of the traffic coming from the other side of the road, what will you do? I think you will probably stick with the right side of your road.What this will do?It will keep you safe.Now if you were to the driving during day ,won't you be overtaking more than than you would have done while driving at night. have seen people overtake dangerously at day just because they are able to judge the distance better during day

| BHPian | Day Driving on Highways definitely preferred. Less eye strain especially since our highways arent all that well lit. Plus other traffic violates rules very easily in terms of not having proper lights etc so chances of danger are very high - maybe not your fault but you end up paying the price for someone else's fault. |
