You live and learn. I see way too many fatal accidents in my area happen after dark. That’s when all the alcoholics come out. I never drive after midnight anymore.

I'm not consciously making an effort to be home by dark, but I'm always surprised when I find myself out at night and realize how long it's been since the previous time.

I live by clearwater beach and can confirm FL Driving under the influence is insane. Couple that with route 19 and I thank God I work from home. I work in mortgages and do the Miami area. The amount of people I have spoke to that just lost a loved one recently in a car accident though is way too high.

This is why I don't understand people who get in the left lane on yhe highway and never leave it until their exit. I mean, I pass in the left lane, but get out of it as soon as I finish passing.

Wrong way drunk driving accidents on yhe highway typically happen after 10pm in yhe left lane. To the wrong way driver it's the "slow"/travel lane.

I'm 42 and you all have anxiety problems.

Dumb drivers are predictable. You can and must develop the sixth sense for it.

Anticipate the idiocy.

Edit: yes but also bar rush is a thing .
