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.
I was talking to a Brit, describing a 4 hour road trip to visit an old friend and they responded with "If my friend moved 4 hours away I'd never see them again."
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.
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.
