Night time

There’s nothing quite as refreshing as driving through a town or city in the middle of night when most people are safely tucked in their beds. I was driving from the most northern suburb last night to a rather southern suburb when I realised how much I love it. If there were two other vehicles on the road, it is a lot. You can either drive as slow as you like and just absorb the quietness or you can race through town, skip the red lights and ignore the speeding warning – knowing full well that if someone else is doing this right now, you might just connect. It’s the adrenaline rush, isn’t it? The thought that you might get caught out. But ironically enough, every time I’ve raced through town in the middle of the night, I found another car trying to race me. If you have fuel in your veins instead of blood, you’ll fully understand the rush when pushing your car to its limits in streets where it is forbidden to drive so fast.
So the next time you find yourself in the streets during the early morning hours make sure to appreciate it – the best you can. And if a blue lightning passes you – you’ve already lost the race.
