first time trying to shoot moving traffic

Here are a couple shots I took this morning, 6:50am of some traffic driving by on Hwy 16A. I used a 35mm 1.8 prime lens, full manual mode. Please let me know how I can approve the shots... I did take a few other shots from my balcony, but they didn't turn out that great. It is a quite hard to focus with no much light!

The first shot is at ISO-200, f/6.3, 13 second exposure time, Nikon D5100. The second shot is at ISO-200, f/8, 13 second exposure time

It would have been nice if there was more traffic, but on a Sunday before 7am there doesn't seem to be that much! I guess I'll have to try at night instead of the morning.

Lack of traffic has hampered this, also be aware of the rule of thirds even with long exposures as this. One technique you can use to liven up the photo is by using a zoom lens and getting light streaks.
