Skunks too - seeing a skunk in the middle of the road will definitely test your braking distance.

Down here in southern Florida, it's actually old people that are the most dangerous thing on the road. They're only out while the sun's up, because they eat dinner and go to bed at 4 PM.
or if you're in a single lane highway and see an oncoming car... that decides to swerve into oncoming traffic?

i consider myself a 'good' driver but i still remain super humble in my less than stellar driving abilities (especially when it comes to manual)

Absolutely, that's an unavoidable situation. Even if a car doesn't enter your lane, I've seen them run over something in the road and send it flying into the other lane. But my point is that really late at night, when Progressive assumes you're going to have an accident, there are so few cars on the road it's just not that likely. Just drive more cautiously when you actually encounter that single car along your 30 mile trip.

As a general rule, around here drunk drivers late at night are easier to predict than elderly drivers during the day. So to be honest, it's not so much when you drive, but where you drive - Progressive completely leaves this out of its primitive equation.
