How many miles should you drive a day?
How many miles should you drive a day? The number of miles people should drive each day on a road trip depends on a number of factors, such as the length of the trip, the type of vehicle being used, weather conditions, and the driver's comfort level. A good rule of thumb is to plan to drive no more than 500 miles per day.
Is it safe to drive 600 miles in a day?
600 is a very long day and for a solo traveler, really should be pretty close to the limit. It is also roughly the limit that professional drivers are allowed to travel in a day because of safety laws. 700 miles starts to really get into the grueling stage, and really can't be recommended for a solo driver.
