> when you’re driving more than 6 hours in a day, which is not uncommon for Americans

Most Americans do less than 5000 miles per year. You totter to the shops and back over distances that people in other countries would just walk.

You can spot American tourists in Scotland, because they can't cope with everything being 200 miles apart when they drive at a maximum of 15mph.

Huh?

The FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) states that the average person drives around 13,500 miles per year.

That's an average across the entire population.

Most people barely drive further than the end of their street.

You're pulling "facts" out your ass.

It's okay. You live in a country where people don't drive as much as you think.

No need to get defensive.

Quit this gaslighting BS. I'm quoting government statistics at you.

It sounds like you might not understand how averages work, or indeed what "gaslighting" is.

It's okay. You can look all these things up on the Internet.
