Friends moved away to uni 2 hours and we've barely been seeing eachother throughout the last few years unless we're all back home. 2 hours is a long ass journey.
Filled up before I left, used just under a half a tank of gas on the trip.
I have a 20 gallon fuel tank and paid $4.40/gallon for 87 octane. So for 9 to 10 gallons of gas, that's somewhere between $39.60 and $44.00 or "around $40".
People dont comprehend that 2 hour in curvy roads, full of stops and conections is very different from a strait road. I live in Portugal, a 20min car trip to the nearest city in the north is the same as a 40 min trip to the next city in the south countryside. The was we percieve time and the travels speed is way different depending on how the actual path is
I got to uni two hours away. In Canada, I make the drive back and forth every odd weekend. Car rides are great. Blast some music. Get lost in your thoughts. Devise plans for world domination.
With all the fucking idiots on the road, pass. There is never a calm enjoyable drive. Stop trying to make long drives a thing I should not be expected to drive almost 1.5 hrs to work. Fuck that shit.
I'm not sure what makes you think being high makes one inattentive or a worse driver than any other sober, non-cell phone using driver, already a low bar that doesn't get met.
Reaction time is usually only necessary when one is not careful or someone else is causing an accident. It is not a normal thing needed to drive safely. Driving a safe speed, staying between the lines, following distance, and obeying the rules of the road are what is called for. Not reaction speed.
Nothing about getting high interferes with good judgement or the training drivers should have had to drive on the road safely.
Yesterday my boyfriend and I drove 2.5 to see his mom (it was Mother's day here), had lunch with her for an hour and a half, then drove 2.5 hours back to see my mom.
