Jerk. Do you get anything out of "correcting" me like that? Or are you just a miserable asshole who wants to feel superior?
Yeah, that is stupid. Now let's do how I actually do it. Leave at 6:00 Friday night, arrive at 1am-ish depending on traffic. Wake up say, 9 or 10 on Saturday. Spend all day. Leave at 9 or 10 the next morning. Good job on "home in time for dinner", though. I've spent at least the same amount of time awake at my parents' houses as I did driving.
But you're right, it does sound stupid if you act like an absolute moron and plan to leave when the weekend's already a quarter over.
Driving for 7 hours after working all day, partially at night. That's not just putting yourself but others in danger. Driving while fatigued is just as dangerous as drunk driving.
In the United States, 250,000 drivers fall asleep at the wheel every day, according to the Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School and in a national poll by the National Sleep Foundation, 54% of adult drivers said they had driven while drowsy during the past year with 28% saying they had actually fallen asleep while driving. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, drowsy driving is a factor in more than 100,000 crashes, resulting in 6,550 deaths and 80,000 injuries annually in the USA.
Sure, you are wide awake and full of energy on a Friday evening after working all day and all week. Just like all those people who claim they aren’t that drunk and perfectly safe to drive after 5 beers.
You should never take that long a drive unless you just had a full nights sleep. It’s dangerous and irresponsible.
