> I've been able to do 6 hours in a single day

Is... Is that a typo? Six hours of continuous driving in a day is a weekly commute for some. 8 to 10 hours a day is fairly normal here...

I don't understand the situation in which anyone would find that acceptable. That is 60 days a year thrown away, and for what?

The US is a large county, it has states that are larger than France.

Driving from San Diego to San Francisco (never leaving the state of California) takes about 8 hours, even longer in traffic.

Many people have these long commutes due to work.
