So it takes 12 hours instead of 14 hours?? That's not a compelling reason lol. And you have to use a 1,000 mile road trip as an example to make the time "saved" approach significance.
The comment thread is about “very long stretches of highway in the US that see little to no traffic” and 1,000 is a round number. It’s not that outlandish to drive that far in the US especially if you count round-trip distance.
Saving 2.5 hours of boredom evidently is compelling, that’s why people do it.
The comment thread started with me saying I've driven tens of thousands of miles back and forth across the country. Which is why I'm laughing at the claim that quadrupling the risk for a marginal time savings doesn't make sense.
Carbrained Statesians don't make rational decisions.
