2. You can’t get a ticket if you’re less than 9 MPH over the speed limit. (Note: we don’t recommend trying this theory.)

3. With the appropriate number of snacks and drinks, and a continual supply of fuel, it’s possible to keep going forever.

4. A road trip is a great time to play that guy is a gigolo, a game in which players create a backstory for the people in other cars on the road. Warning: it tends to reveal more about the player’s life than the stranger’s.

5. Traveling teaches you a lot about yourself. For instance, how you act after multiple energy drinks or how comfortable you are peeing into bottles.

7. There’s consistency in the world; you can drive 15 hours without the landscape changing all that much.
