The car is cool, but the picture is a quick snapshot you take with your phone, it’s average.

10/10 Awesome detail, perfect amount of light sensitivity to capture both the background and the intricate foreground. +1 for long exposure light streaks, always awesome

Well, both images lack any EXIF data, so I can only comment on the way they handle the light.
Your Highlights are pretty bang on, with how little light you had with the shadows, I would have strongly considered two exposures. But if all you wanted was to capture the highlights, then you did so quite well. With the light this low, you may need to do a manual focus rather then auto focus. Granted I do not know which camera and or lens option you are using.
Some of the point and shoots offer no MF option, and most AF sensors can only pick on something to focus down to -2.0EV
So I knock off a few points for out of focus, and in the second image, noise.
If your goal was to capture the highlights only, Well done.
If your goal was to get a flatter exposure and have more light in the shadows, you might want to look into HDR
8/10
The exposure rate was 1/4->0.8->3.0 (seconds) at a devastating ISO800 (the D80 would make some bad noise above ISO400)

The first one was a crap shot I took on my mum’s Sony Xperia Z1, I don’t recall the exact specs of that camera. I do, however, remember reading that it has a weakness in the software and is extremely grainy and struggles to focus in low-light high-ISO situations. That still can’t explain my lack of ability. I hope to improve, so I thank you for your helpful feedback.
The second one was shot using a Canon PowerShot SX110 IS. Super budget point-and-shoot digital camera.
It can only shoot compressed files so HDRs of reasonable quality even in post is out of the question. Here’s a shot in a bit brighter scene. Max ISO is also just 1200.
Again, no editing in post.
Exposure rate 1/4 for 1/1250th of a second. ISO 80.
Also, despite a worse camera, your shot doesn’t appear to be terrible at all.

Polygons of the train track is just waay to visible. Also, the tire tracks make no sense, so… not even believe able

8/10, subject a little too similar in colour to the background, but framed well
And now for some Cities: Skyklines
