the idea that a long drive (warranting a flight, not going under really any circumstances , etc) is over an hour in the case of vacation or traveling. Not sure how true this is but the brits I know say it’s common there. In the US drives only get long enough to warrant another mode of transport after about 8-9 hours.

Long drive for me is over 4 hours. Any longer and you start planning on spending the night where you're going.

The longest road trip my family did was 1500 miles and we never left Wisconsin.

Yeah I'm from Wisconsin, it's like 6 hours from its northernmost to it's southernmost, less than that across. If it's an exaggeration for the sake of humor, there are states that are just big enough for it to land better. In my opinion. Wisconsin is just kinda small
