Yeah, pretty much. Country roads in Oz can be a bit exciting at night, though. It's not the kangaroos, though they can come out of nowhere; it's the darned wombats. Hit one of those and it's like hitting a brick wall.

Your wildlife makes Florida's look like a picnic. I saw a picture the other day where someone had gotten up in the morning nd went into their kitchen only to find a VERY LARGE snake (my guess would be over 12 feet long) slithering up the side of the cabinet. All I could think was "OH HELL NO!" and that I would have to move after that.

I found a small one in our bedroom many years ago. I live in a very leafy area but it's rare to find any among the houses.

If my snake had been as big as the one you described I'd have sent Mrs Didge in after it. She's tougher than me, and she's fearless.

The only time I find driving challenging is at dusk and if I put my 👓 on its usually ok! I like to drive!

I use to drive in all kinds of weather conditions, but at night was the least desirable.

No, I do not enjoy driving at night.

Firstly, my city is primitive as far a street lighting goes.

Secondly, I am having night blindness problems and I see very poorly in the dark, even with high beams on.

The best driving experience ever was driving alone across Dartmoor at 3 a.m. Spooky, atmospheric, no other cars, no lights, only the occasional building. Just one village. It's only around 30 miles, but still wonderful.

Night driving in Highland Scotland is good fun too.

Depends on where it is and if it's bright enough to see anything beyond headlights.

Some of my favourite rides are at night on my bike ... With a full moon, no traffic on a quiet scenic road .

It depends on where it is, how well I know the road, and how much moonlight there is. If it a crowded city, no. A country road, in the early summer, with some moonlight, with the top down, and I am in heaven.

Don't really mind on the freeways, well marked and good sight distance.  Since my eyes have gotten older, and I have a starter set of cataracts, country roads at night are a bit distressing - especially in the rain.  I can drive them, but if you get behind me you had better be patient.
