I drive at night in Mexico and Sinaloa. We've done it frequently and lots of people do judging from the traffic I see when I'm driving at night. Cars, trucks and buses run at night so I assume that while there may be an increased risk, but maybe not an unacceptable risk.
We used to leave Durango at 2AM so we could beat the truck traffic on 40 West to Villa Union. We would reach El Salto by sunup and missed most of the truck traffic. The only close call was a burro that was in the traffic lane but I could squeeze by him.
Probably the biggest difference was the lack of reflective center lines or the fog line, but recently I've noticed its getting better.
