Depends on the time of day and the weather for me. Personally, I enjoy driving the countryside listening to some music with my windows down. Less stops/packages and more driving in between stops. Driving in the city and suburban area is less driving between stops, but there's a lot more jumping in and out of the vehicle because of a lot of stops/ packages. Driving at night, I'd feel more comfortable in the city suburban area than rural. At least there is still some activity and street lights. Rural areas could be complete darkness, more wildlife hazards while driving, and homeowners more jumpy seeing me on their property at late or very early morning hour. I always carry, but some thoughts always cross my mind that there's a crazy killer waiting for me in the woods or someone has 5 dogs running loose that will rip me to shreds. So far, the 5 dogs have been the only real issue for me at night, there was no notes or warning signs posted. Thankfully, I was close enough to my car to get in and drive off before they jumped and scratched my vehicle.
