America is pretty unique in size. If you're used to shorter trips even overestimating wouldn't be half the drive through america. Especially Europeans as a long drive is anything over 20m when its measured in hours they're considering booking accommodations for sleep and such. The perception of time is incredibly different.

European here, although our countries are smaller. 20 mins is quite obviously a short drive.

UK is pretty small but it still takes 7 Hours to get from Glasgow to london and I can't imagine anyone booking overnight accommodation for that drive. That's two major cities with 100% motorway/freeway driving, I haven't even brought up Cornwall.

I drive 5h for family within England on a monthly basis.

Your comment is naive.
