The next time you go on a long road trip with your family, you might want to break it up into two days. Not for them, but to protect your OWN sanity . . .
A new poll found we can only be in the car with our family for 3 hours and 46 minutes before they drive us NUTS. If we're driving with friends it's a little longer, but there's still a limit . . . 4 hours and 23 minutes.
Everyone's griped about how they haven't been able to travel for the past year. But it turns out a lot of us weren't doing it before the pandemic anyway.
The average American hasn't left their home state in three-and-a-half years. So that's the pandemic, plus two years.
Two-thirds of people said they don't feel the urge to go that far, because they still have so much to see in their own state.
Less than 10% said they've been to another state in the past 12 months, for obvious reasons. But that number might be going up soon because May was voted as the second-best month for road trips. June is first.
People in the poll said the "perfect" road trip would last four-and-a-half days . . . take them through four different states . . . and hit five major landmarks. And California was voted the best state for road trips overall, followed by Arizona and Alabama.
