Night drive

I took Candy for a short short ride after sunset today.
This was the first time I drove at night.

Yes, that is right. I had never driven at night before.
I took all driving lessons during the day, and
I hadn't driven much other than the lessons.

As I'd need to drive back at night from school starting Tuesday,
I thought I should try and practice a little before that.
My landlord and house mate agreed, and I set out with a cell phone ;-)

I checked how the lights worked, and set out!
This area is really dark, and the visibility is bad even with lights.
It was a little scary driving in that condition...

Main roads are lit well, but back roads are really dark.
Until I get used to this, I should stick to the main roads.
