Normally I'd say you won't be seeing much at all but during last year's Leonids I saw plenty while driving on the highway, trying to escape clouded skies. Now, keep in mind that I live in Belgium and that our highways are flooded with lampposts... :)

The most important thing with meteor observations is a good view at as much of the sky as possible. Thus you need dark skies and as few obstacles (trees, buildings, hills,...) as possible.

Check the website of the International Meteor Organisation for more info!
