A citizen can shamelessly park in the oncoming lane, run a red light, suddenly turn around across the continuous lane and god knows what he would never allow himself to do in daylight again. Perhaps this phenomenon is not widespread, but it is very common. That just begs the question, what does it have to do with it?
It is unlikely that we live in a world of two parallel civilizations – night and day, which have different views on road behavior. The point is rather something else. At night, a person has a feeling of some indulgence, because no one sees his behavior. As a result, the chance of not even being punished, but public condemnation, is minimal. So the high moral bar of the modern and possibly cultural individual falls into the abyss of primitive reflexes. Yes, and as history shows, it is at night that people are most often able to commit all kinds of indecency. But that is not everything.
A significant reduction in nighttime traffic relaxes the average driver, who no longer has to strain their brains driving through curves and intersections in the hope that there are no other cars after all. Incidentally, there is another factor, which makes the imposition of all of the above dangerous at night driving in an urban environment.
