Thanks for the replies.

Luckily I don’t do any single engine night flying and I have never felt comfortable with it.

Flying for Fun,

I see your point entirely about not landing on a road because you might kill a few others along the way trying to save your own bacon but I find it hard to stomach gliding into the unknown especially if you have friends or family on board, I would do everything I could to save them.
The roads I was thinking of would be big, e.g. motorways…..big enough for something like a Worrier but as you quite rightly point out you could end up with a pile up and more casualties if not deaths.

I guess your licence would be taken away from you by the CAA but then I look at it this way that you’re alive, you’ve been given a second chance to live and the licence is in that respect neither here nor there.

Cheers,
