I actually quite enjoy driving, especially at night, really helps me relax and get rid of anxiety. I would love to do a track day, but shits expensive.

See if there are any autocross groups in your area. Cheaper and safer than a track day with 95% of the thrill.

  There is an event in April in thinking about signing up for, it’s only about 200 bucks to enter and there are other events in the club later if I like it, also just in time for my birthday!

    Do it! If nothing else you should go to see how they are run. Bring a helmet if you have one, ride-alongs are super fun.

On the one hand, I agree, but on the other hand, it’s one of the most dangerous times to drive

  I’ve been working nights for a good chunk of my life and I can’t understand why people say this. I prefer to drive at night, maybe if I didn’t live in a big city I might think differently. But, I’ve never had an accident, I rarely sit in traffic, cops generally have bigger shit to deal with at night so I don’t need to worry about speed traps or anything. I can’t think of any downside to night driving

    1:30 to 3:30 is prime drunk driver time, in my area. This was when I was getting off work (11am to 3am shift). I hated that drive home. I drove a manual until the automatics’ fuel efficiency outweighed the cost of the automatics. I am an A-> B driver.

    At least for my area, the danger is deer. A few years back, a deer rammed into the side of her car just a few yards from the driveway, not to mention how skidish they are with vehicles in general.

  Idk, I mean it’s darker, but there are also a lot less cars on the road. I do what I can for accident prevention, I have a dash cam as well, but nothing is 100% risk free and I’m gonna attempt to enjoy what life I have left, and driving is something I wnjoy.
