gets a bit freaky after 10 hours or so, i used to be a bus driver and delivery driver and can do a good bit of driving, but just driving across mad roads in desert heat for hours on end gets a bit nutty, caught a mad fever and was just wacked out when i got back after doing 6000km with another driver in just a few short bursts, 1500km at least in a session. anyone else expereinced long distance driving? couldnt even imagine crossing america or somewhere like that by driving, you've got to really split it up i reckon. |

I drove alone across the USA (not coast to coast, but close) in 3 days. It was about 4500km, and I was starting to go a bit crazy by the end of the Albuquerque -> San Francisco bit. The desert roads *can* make you go a bit mad. |

i'd think doing it alone could be a bit more scary, cos other people with you need to stop at different times giving you a chance to rest more, doing it on your own it's all down to you when you stop. |

I've never driven further than the confines of my own city. But if I get my class 4 license, I'll be able to drive Ambulances across the fucking province and be on the road for the whole 8 hour work day... listening to BOC in a big shiny truck with sirens, GPS and lots of drugs. |

haha, Ophecks, i'm thinkin of going back to delivery driving, its great, you know exactly where you're goin at the start of the day then you're in yor own world getting there and back, no bother. just dont get a job driving and dealing with the public, bus driving in Liverpool was just the most the depressing job i've had. THE GENERAL PUBLIC ARE CUNTS!!!! |

I hear ya... people annoy me. I'd be in solitude brining ambulance A to station B and driving ambulance B back to station A, nobody cept for me and my music. That would be nice, I don't mind driving at all. Your own little world, nice way of putting it... the bosses don't know what you're up to when you're out there. ;-) |

deffinately, you might be contactable when you're on the road but they dont know that youre there with hours to spare sittin in a van on the top of a mountain havin a quick spliff, great stuff. you only get that chance with long distance delivery though, well, not multiple deliveries in one day anyway, just 2 to 4 points to get to in a day and it's an easy job, without too much greif apart from the driving which can be easy or hard, just depends what bad drivers are out there to ruoi it for you. i dunno, driving can be good, but if you kn,ow you can drive, you also know there are litterally millions of terrible drivers out there. |

i thought it was OZ but there must be somewhere in canada called Sydney, you automatically associate sydney with Oz cos u dont know it exists in canada. my geography is fuckin awful, its improved 100 fold since movin to mainland europe, now i know where most places are cos i'm more aware of being in another place |

huh this July I drove from Toronto to Denver and back, with 1200 kms per session. It was really hard, though if i needed I could drive 1500 a day, but thats very very exhausting. Sometimes you are so tired you can't even sleep. |

Haha, yeah... that was brilliant. Wrong frickin' Sydney, they must have been disapointed. This place SUCKS. ;-) But the city gave them all kinds of freebies and benefits, tours and free hotels and all that stuff. So they get a free vacation, and the area OUTSIDE of this city is actually pretty nice and they got to see it, so maybe they had the last laugh. I'm gonna pretend I'm going to London, Ontario but hitch a plane to London England someday. |
