I’ve never been great at driving in the dark. But it was doable when I needed to.
Given lockdown, working from home etc it has been a while since I have had to do any driving in the dark. In fact between March and August I barely did any driving at all.
Tonight I drove to a different supermarket (changed because we are no longer able to leave local authority area). It was 5.30pm. Unlit dual carriageway. I was so frightened and disorientated I drove there at 50mph (thankfully the road wasn’t busy and it’s not far).
Its hard to explain. I can’t see where the white lines are to se my turn-off, and I get disorientated with the headlights and can’t tell how far away cars are and whether I can overtake etc.
I’m 35 years old. I feel really down in the dumps about it.
