For 10/10ths driving, a closed circuit daytime run would be optimum, agreed. We, however, do not have the luxury of closing down public roads. That in mind, nighttime driving is the safest way to go about it, for you and for other motorists. It gives you advanced warning as to the location of other drives and minimizes traffic volume.
agree 100%
