Longest time driving
Okay, I'm back from my weekend of driving. (For those of you who didn't even notice I was gone
 )On Saturday, I sat in DC traffic for over an hour and a half  But it led me to wonder, after I had spent 8.5 hours sitting in a car with only one out-of-car break, what is the longest period of driving time anyone else here has put in? And just sitting as a passenger in the car doesn't count. If you split driving duties, just count your time.

About 9 hours. It was on the way home from my honeymoon in Monterey. We left Monterey about 7pm (the sun was still up), and got home about 5am. I'll estimate about an hour for Denny's in San Luis Obispo.
Now, I must add: This was all in her ECHO, and it was on Highway 1 out of Monterey, so we were averaging 35mph in the switchbacks on the side of a cliff overlooking the ocean. That is a hard drive.

Yes, Highway 1 is treacherous...
I was just out in CA for a wedding in July, and we drove somewhere up north from Santa Rosa mostly along Highway 1... I drove 8.5 hours (including the time spent in traffic) and still doing anywhere between 65-80 mph!!!!

About 5 hours in a row is about the most i have spent driving at once.
I like to stop and get out often and have a walk around etc. Our country is not huge so you can get to most places in a few hours.

6 hours straight, no breaks. This is why I now make sure that whatever trip I make, I only drive for one hour tops.

Iv driven non-stop for about 6hrs, with a single break in the middle for 9hrs.
But Iv driven the Truck for 14hours, thats stopping at about 100odd shops on the way round though, so its not resting.

Non stop was about 11 hours from here to Wayne County IL. The longest drive I did in a day was to Swift County MN from here which was 15 hours. Only stopped once for food and gas. What a long ass drive that was.

I drove from my home in New Brunswick, to here in Barrie Ontario for college, a 15 hour drive, but stop about 3 times for gas and food, and stayed overnight in a hotel at the 10 hour mark.

I only took one break on my trip, for gas and a pit-stop... it took about a half hour because I had to eat then, as well... eating and shifting do not go well together, as I have discovered.
Oh, and Heep: About my 80 mph... I maxed at 85, but I'm sure I could have gone higher. I decided to stop at 85 so if I got caught, it wouldn't be a high-speed felony (which is anything 20+ mph over the posted limit).
