I agree, if you're going to do something stupid in your vehicle it probably is SAFER to do so at night since there are fewer vehicles (Safer for the OTHER guy, that is!) However, just because there are fewer cars on the road does not mean there are fewer cops on the road. In fact, the cop-to-driver ratio is MUCH higher in some areas! And while cops are hard to see at night if they are sitting in the dark off the road, YOU are more likely to stand out if you're the only car on the road!

And if you DO get caught for doing something stupid on the road at night, do you think you'll be treated more fairly by the police? Don't you think they are sick of dealing with morons (much less gangstas that threaten their lives!) by the end of the day? Could it be they are tired and cranky also? No doughnut shops open this late? Are your friends going to bail you out of jail at 3:00 AM? At the very least, it would stand to reason that the cop will not be as likely to believe your "visiting grandma" story and let you off the hook! At worst, you could become the next victim of police brutallity. After all, who's there to see what REALLY happened?

No, LEGO will stick to doing stupid stuff from the comfort of home... like spending 2-1/2 prescious hours posting on Internet blogs instead of reading a book!
