How Do You Drive During Low-Traffic Hours?

The only thing I do is when braking, I try to come to a stop without even feeling it.

I’m opposite too. Nice morning at sunrise, about 70 degrees w/ low humidity, stop light on an open road pretty much brings an evil smile to my face. Yeah, gotta blow out the carbon right?

I do this as well. I actually will judge people's driving on how suddenly they finish their stop and rock their car/minivan. It's weird, I know.

Not as weird as you think, friend. I do the same thing. When I see a Honda Odessey pull up at the light, braking so hard it looks like the driver's giving himself a concussion on the headrest, I just sigh.

I generally try and do this too. I generally take off from the light and tend to speed quite a bit though, so braking smoothly is really the only good driving I do.

And at night I tend to drive a little faster than normal. During traffic I drive fast, but people around here love to take all three lanes and drive side by side at the same speed, so most of the time I find myself stuck behind other cars. I don't worry about cops just because I know their spots and the police around here are pretty lenient on speeders anyway.
