I guess I'm exactly the opposite. I practice safe driving when other people are around. And I guess I don't so much as practice it as I just do it since I'm completely practiced, I guess.

When no one is around, I'll go faster and do slightly more hooligany things, but certainly nothing that will plant me into a curb. I'll also avoid doing so at night when police-to-civilian car ratios are higher and I can't identify anyone at a distance (let alone see objects, deer, animals, people quickly).

(Ok, I usually don't accelerate gently from a stoplight. Maybe only when there's a much badder car next to me...)

But hey, whatever helps your zen/mental state is what I think you should do when the road is clearer.

If you really need to "practice", I highly recommend the Nissan LEAF. Lots of nice LED's and totally harmless… 80 KW AC motor (0 to 90 in 5.2 minutes!)
