Breathe Take your time, there's no rush. Don't let your nerves get in the way of your concentration, but don't overthink it. You've got this!!

Just keep the fundamentals with you. Day or night, it's the same thing. The roads haven't changed, poles haven't moved, the landscape is the same (unless of course you're stuck in the movie Dark City,in which case good luck). Keep an eye on your mirrors and look for your lights to locate the end of your trailer etc. One thing you'll want to be more aware of is taking in even more information at an intersection as you approach. Where is that sign / pole / bus stop etc and is it completely in the dark. If you make a good mental picture as you approach, it'll make the navigation much easier. The Smith System is a wonderful thing.
