I travel from LA to SLC about twice a year to visit my mom, and I like to take scenic routes (I-15 gets really tedious after the 3rd or 4th time), and here's my list: 1) Make sure your vehicle has had any necessary maintenance (oil change, alignment, etc.) 2) Don't go more than 2 or 3 hours without taking a break - stretch, pee, fuel up, have a snack. 3) Have plenty of music ready, in varying styles (you will get tired of your favorite genre after a few hours). 4) Water and caffeine are your friends... in moderation (see #2). 5) Turn signals are not for you; they indicate your intentions to other drivers so they can react accordingly. Use them. 6) The driver in front of you is like your ex - you need to back off, and give them some damn space. If you can see the color of their eyes or the individual pores in their skin in their rear-view mirror, you are too close. 7) DON'T CAMP IN THE PASSING LANE. DON'T PASS IN THE SLOW LANE. 8) If there are other vehicles within view, TURN OFF YOUR F@&ING HIGH BEAMS! 9) Plan out your route in advance, but don't be afraid to try an alternate route. Consult your map. 10) Take your time, and enjoy the scenery - some of the most desolate places in the world are hauntingly beautiful, and can provide you with lifelong memories if you take the time to appreciate them. Enjoy your trip!

About point No.6, isn't it awesome though when you have that special understanding with the driver in front of you when you keep a safe distance they are comfortable with and like to drive at the same speed, so you end up driving a huge stretch of the road with them? I almost missed my exit last time this happened to me.

I love driving, especially at night, whether on a highway or in the mountains, the speed, line, focus, and control of driving keeps it for me engaged (and often helps to keep me awake). During ski season, I drive from NYC to Sugarbush (Warren, VT) - A 6 to 7 hour drive. The first time I did that drive was when I first got my car. I was super excited, couldn't sleep, and so I drove alone leaving NYC at 12AM with only 2 hours of sleep, and arriving there at 6AM (I-91 route). These last two years I do that drive after working 9-5, and take the I-87 route since it has much better and more frequent service stations for rest stops. I've also driven from NYC to Niagara Falls, as well as Cleveland (~8-9 hour drive), leaving at 3AM, and arriving around 12PM... So here's some tips from my experiences: 1. Know your route, and know your distance (it is so easy these days with google maps)... But also know your gas tank size, your driving style, and your mpg on the highway... On an 18 gallon tank, I can drive from NYC to VT on one full tank. driving to Cleveland, I can in theory make it there on one tank, but I was pushing the car much harder, and ran out of gas 2/3 of the way there... 2. Don't drink coffee right away... get something to eat before you set off, but wait till your first break to get your coffee fix... there's nothing worse than wanting to go to the rest room before you've even gotten out of the city (enjoy the departure), but more importantly, if I drink coffee too early I'll crash afterwards... so I try to time my coffee and food so that by the time the coffee runs out I have food energy to burn and vice versa... 3. Lean forward when you get sleepy... This may sound weird, but when I'm sleepy behind the wheel, I sit up and lean forward for a few seconds... allowing more oxygen and blood flow (I think)... I don't know why it works, but it does for me... I regain focus for a little while before I get tired again and repeat this. 4. Stretch and move your legs / feet... If you have cruise control, slow down, get to the right side lane, and cruise for a few minutes while you shift your feet, legs and back around... If you can't do this while turning, just do it on straightaways... this helps you keep circulation going between rest stop breaks, make you feel less stiff and more alert. 5. If you pull the kind of hours like my Cleveland trip (3AM - 11AM), know that you'll get tired right around sunrise, and right around noon... so be extra careful, and plan your breaks accordingly.

Gonna do a 14 hr trip when I pick my Miata up I will fly in and drive out, the plan is to leave at 5 am and get home by 10pm (countering in stopping to take a break of course), the key is to not do any night driving in the rural areas and do most of the night driving in the built up areas as in Australia the rural areas have roos just running into cars and its not something you want to happen to you in a Miata !

I make the 11 hour drive from south Florida to North Carolina quite regularly. Here are my tips: 1) Set up three or four playlists beforehand. Variety is key in the long haul. 2) Stimulates are your friend. Energy shots, adderall, or good ole fashioned cocaine. Just don't go crazy, and make sure to balance it out with depressants so you don't get too jittery. 3) Check your oil, lights, and windshield wipers before you leave. Even the windshield washer fluid! Helps with bugs and snow so you don't have to clean it at gas stations. 4) A road jerk can really ease the tension about 9 hours in, but nothing too kinky. Keep one eye on the road! 5) Bring plenty of water! 6) Hang your feet out the window with no shoes or socks. The fresh air between your toes will keep you alert. Check to make sure you won't need to brake any time soo

Good video sir. But you can't forget about stopping for breaks, especially on any road trip longer than 3 hours. The "experts" say to stop every hour (for various reasons including health), but use your best judgement by paying attention to the signs your body gives you that you need to stop and take a break. When I had to travel from Charlotte, NC to Chicago, IL in December to take care of some of my dad's affairs I stopped every 2 hours to stretch etc. Only downside was that everything was last minute (you don't plan on someone passing away before they reach 50) so it was a rush to get out there, and a rush to get back. In a little less than 2 weeks I will be going back to take care of some more of his affairs and this time I am going to try and enjoy the trip. Here is to safe travels to everyone hitting the open road as the peak driving season kicks into high gear.

About 75 miles there my fuel light came on. I was praying to God that I would make it and those 25 miles were the longest of the whole trip. I barley made it to a gas station. It would not have gone another 5 miles. Scared the shit out of me.

I would do it every summer if I could. I never drive more than 2 or 3 hours without a stretch break. I never drive all night long. 7 - 9 hours per day is my limit, max. Google Maps is a life saver.

At 78mph nobody will bother you. Set the cruise and enjoy the trip. Stop when you need to, get back on the interstate and set the cruise at 78 mph. You will be amazed at the amount of ground you will cover. It's no big thing. One day you will be on the Great Lakes-16 hours later you will be on the Gulf Coast. Plan your trip to avoid rush hour in any of the cities you will travel through and you will sail right through to your destination. Remember that everyone on the road, including you, have people who love them. Don't do anything to break their hearts. Be smart, drive safe, and keep your eyes on the road. Safe travels my friends.

I remember going on a 3 hour drive and then going to a beach and checking out the city, it was so awesome and indeed it was therapeutic. It encouraged me to do more road trips 👍

Take a road trip by thinking like a Californian. We have to take a road trip to get to the next town. I live in Sacramento. The SF Bay Area is over 90 miles away. And we have 850 miles, approximately, of coastline without even leaving the state (nearly 2000 miles if you actually measure the road) (that's most of the eastern seaboard to you guys). As I said, I live in Sacramento. I talk to a lot of Easteners who ask if I go surfing in the morning. Dude (with a surfer accent), I tell them, the ocean is a 100 miles from Sacramento. A hundred miles for you guys covers 3 or 4 states. You can easily cover 3 or 4 hundred miles in a day, with stops. Just start thinking like a Californian and drive. Also, don't pass up those intreguing side roads (gas up first) you never know where you'll end up

This was a great video as I'm about to make a fantastic drive from Dallas to California 21hr drive but I think you should make a video on what kinda things to do to your car before hitting the road like taping the front end and such

It's funny, people think I'm crazy for the road trips I've gone on. I did a roadtrip from Indiana to Oregon , twice. Not sure what it is, bit being alone on a long road trip is great.

Great tips! Having your car ready for the trip should have been the first part. That cannot be emphasised enough. Anyway I plan on taking a long road trip with my family from Washington, DC to Los Angeles. I have never gone that far by road and I know its a very long drive but I really want to experience the drive to the West. I heard there is a lot of mountains but hopefully my trusty 99 Isuzu Rodeo will be able to handle it. I already drove it all the way to Wisconsin to the north and Alabama to the south. Best way to enjoy the US.

There are those who place videos on KZitem who do not know how to produce entertainingly or speak intelligently, clearly and effectively. Fortunately you are not one of them. You make it look easier than it is. Good video, although older people will find it difficult to take advice form such a young whippersnapper...

Going on a 1,450 mile journey in a couple weeks. To top it off I'm driving solo. Even though I'm really nervous, anxious, I never really thought about viewing it as time to reflect on where I am in life, being that my life is about to change in a huge way. New people, new places. Well anyway thanks for the video, and the encouragement I guess..

Great video man. I drove from the top of idaho to Boston with my ex girlfriend once. It was actually more like driving by myself becahse she slept 90% of the drive lol. Then I did Boston to Boyton Beach Florida straight through (17 hrs) by myself. Driving by yourself is definitely another ball game. Havent had any road trips in the stang yet but they are coming.
