Buffalo's and dogs are the least of your worries at night, it's the drunks behind the wheels of other cars you need to look out for.

so many reasons,
one is Khmers believe that discounting your rear/brake light on a motorcycles uses less gas

The closest to dying I have come was driving from SR to Poipet. Pitch black but I suddenly felt that I had to move into the oncoming lane. Good think too as someone had parked a steam roller on the road with no lights or any sort of warning signs. And the bloody thing wasn't yellow either, it was a dark green, perfectly camouflaged.

I love riding and driving at night, I have criss crossed this country between 10pm and 4am many many times over the years without incident

Less retards on the move

It's important to have good lights though, so you can see little things like Buffalo crossing from a safe distance
