Cars
"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

Around 2 am, Capricorn Highway
somewhere half way between Blackwater and Rockhampton, which are around 200km apart. I felt like a slash so stopped the car. No street lights, no Moon, I somewhat foolishly tuned off the headlamps and the sidelights, got out of the car and went to the other side of the road. The stars were bright.
Having buttoned up I turned and could not see the car. After a few moments I sort of perceived a vague dark shape somewhere to the right and walked toward it. Got my hand on the rear window and had to feel for the door handle.
By comparison, the interior light of a Ford Escort was dazzling.
