<human>:  Is it safe to drive a car after sunset in a rural area?
<bot>: It depends. Generally speaking, it is safe to drive a car after sunset in a rural area, as long as you stay alert, adhere to the speed limit, and use your headlights so that you can see yourself and be seen by other drivers. However, animals or debris may be harder to see in the dark and extra caution should be taken when driving in a rural area at night.
