Being that its very late at night and there is no one around I wouldn't want to put myself in danger if I am the only one riding in the car. Lonely roads especially at night can be dangerous for many reasons. I most likely would be worried if my car were to stop working or if an individual would take advantage of the fact that a car stops on a lonely road at a red light and attempt to cause the rider any harm.…
