Fascinating! We drive hours upon hours on the regular in Texas, everything is so spread apart. I take weekend trips to see my family every once in a while and it comes out to 3-4 hours and I do that without really hesitating. One of my friends recently mentioned that one of their parents took a job that's 120 miles away from their house(!!) which, while it's definitely not "normal," certainly happens.
If you don't mind my asking, whereabouts are you from?
- dm319 6y agoFrom the UK, and not everyone is aware of this. But it has been tried in the courts, and I'm aware of one person (friend of a friend) who is in jail as a result if having an accident after driving for 4 hours. I have a friend who works in car insurance, and he's pretty firm about the requirement to not drive more than two hours straight. Our motorways are covered in cameras, so if something happens you generally can't pretend you took a different route or stopped in a (camera covered) service station!
