I stopped driving at night several years ago.

Now my daytime drving has some limitations. The glare in early morning driving when facing east is almost blinding. The same is true of late afternoon driving when facing west. I now have to plan my day accordingly. This sensitivity to light has increased recently. I am overdue for an eye appointment.

I was having the same problem. Now I have meds that blur my vision enough that it's become an issue. I feel safer having someone else drive me.
 
I don't usually drive at night unless the route is familiar (i.e., I know a mile in advance that my lane is going to run out, I don't have to try to read street signs to find an address, etc.) but last night was a doozy.

I had to go to a high-school football game (the first I've been at in 60 years) to see my cousin's daughter perform. I had to go through Orlando to get there and had planned to take the back routes I used when I lived there but, of course, roads were barricaded for repairs, there was something going on at the arena and it was Friday night....all problems.

I thought I was going to lose my mind. I have a real problem with head light glare and it was bad last night. I got there OK and then came home a different way with no problems.

I am NOT going out at night again unless I KNOW where I'm going.
 

Since in mid to late 70s, I never drive the car.
Just feel 'unsafe' after darkness.
When I got new glasses about 5 years ago, my optometrist advised to not drive after darkness unless absolutely necessary which I never has, because my son living nearby accommodate my needs.
