DRIVING IN THE DARK....

One of the things I don't like is driving at night. It's even worse if it is also raining...
Once... (I think it was in 2001), A boy with 2 girls on a motor bike hit my car when they turned right without giving signing lamp one evening. Thank God they only broke the front cover of my car... Anyway... I just realized they had damaged my car after I was home... :(

I always find it was difficult to drive at night, especially when it was raining... It's very difficult to see the road, especially with the blurring light on the windshield... I always feel reluctant to go to any events at night, and could only manage to go because I had to, and usually it's because of work.


Once, I had to drive from Muntok to Pangkalpinang in the evening. If in the morning or day light it would take about 2 - 2,5 hours... it took more than 3 hours to reach Pangkalpinang. The road was winding, and dark... SO, most of the times I have to turned off and on the high beam... and got dazzled by high beam from other cars too.... I couldnt drive faster than 50 kmh... I felt completely washed out after driving passing woods on long and winding road... and the next morning, my eyes would be turned red.... literally...

When driving at night, no matter how the temperature outside is, I have to turn on the aircon... (not wise to open the window while driving alone at night...). It's also bad when I have to drive passing dark roads when I can not tell if there are people walking (if they don't bring flash light or something glaring), bikes without lamps, and the worst... motorbikes without lamps...
However, the worst is if I have to meet motor bikers with  nice motorbikes but they are fool enough or too lazy to turn the sign lamp when they want to make turns... those bikers makes me really really pissed off...
