99.9% day. Years ago, obviously a different metric. I have grey hair now.

Sometime I catch myself at dusk not wanting to leave if I kinda need to. I fight the urge but it's there.

Daytime isn't great either since more people are on the road.

One day I might be rich enough to be a comfortable recluse. :Fingerscrossed:

predawn driving in the winter makes for 50% of my normal winter driving. In the summer its like 95% during the day.

I wish I could drive 100% at night for work, but a solid chunk of business my company has operates from 6a to 6p. It's so much easier to be a trucker while everyone else is sleeping...

I make the trip Houston to BR monthly and I always try to plan it for night. A much quicker and relaxing drive.

I am probably 90% daytime driving. I do enjoy driving at night, but if you have a flat it is exponentially harder to deal with at night. Also, keeping the windshield clean is a lot harder at night due to the amount of bugs.

50/50.

It's almost always dark when I go to the office at 5am, and daylight coming home at 3pm.

During the day. Now that I am a member of the older than dirt club, I find that bright headlights hurt my eyes.

I avoid driving at night if at all possible because my astigmatism makes nightly drives a giant ball of light.
Throw in reflections from wet streets after a rain and I really shouldn’t be allowed on the road

I have a weird recurring dream about having to drive from Auburn, IL, back to Baton Rouge overnight on Christmas Eve during a winter storm.

I despise having to make long-haul drives when the sun goes down. I’ve done it pounding Sutafed and coffee drinks, but otherwise I start having serious microsleep issues.
