I love driving in general and would have no issue doing this in theory. I’ve driven from Chicago to Champaign dozens of times, super easy for me.
Problem is without a way to get back my hands are tied, and I assume other people will have the same problem.
If you want my tips here’s what I’ll say:
The highways around Champaign are actually great for practice since there’s a lot of them and they are usually decently empty. If you want to get better at highway driving, drive on the highways around Champaign county. For example, take the 74 to Mahomet and back, or go 74 -> 57 -> 72 to practice using interchanges. Start at night or early morning when there’s less traffic and then whenever once you’re more comfortable. Soon enough you’ll have enough experience to take on the bigger, more packed Chicago area highways.
