What is the best time to drive?
I like to drive very fast down winding back roads and want to avoid
problems.
What/Who I’d like to avoid:
1) accidents due to slow traffic suddenly found around a bend in the road
(e.g. bicyclist, deer, pedestrian, etc.)
2) police
3) other traffic
I generally do my lock-me-up-and-throw-away-the-key high speed driving on
abandoned back roads late at night to avoid cyclists and pedestrians. I
love a sunny morning drive, but unfortunately this is when most of the
cyclists are out and I yield the road to them during the day and drive
at more reasonable speeds then. I have come across deer in the middle of
the road late at night, but given the
choice, obviously I’d rather hit a herd of deer than a cyclist.
Is there a bedtime for bambi?
How do others handle this situation? Please don’t suggest I give up
those winding roads for a track somewhere.
Thanks

At least at night you can usually see other cars headlights in the distance
if conditions allow.
But although I used to drive fastish around country lanes in my youth this
is extremely irresponsible. Just imagine driving around a blind bend at 60
mph and meeting… …a tractor parked in the road, a tree that has fallen
down, a herd of dear (they can do alot of damage, you imagine a dear being
thrown at your car at 60 mph!). I don’t know what your country lanes are
like but round my way most have only just enough room to get two cars side
by side and there’s nowhere to escape.
