I don't drive that far every day. But I have to travel cross country a handful of times a year with quite a bit of gear. And when I do, I drive hard. Sometimes even 2k kilometers in a day. But no, nowhere near every day.

And it's great they made the city safe for traffic. I'm just saying these wide open spaces with huge distances to travel aren't anywhere near meeting the same safety standard because cars going 150km/hr will sometimes result in fatalities.
