There is no official legislature or guidance about the number of miles that can be driven in a day, so if getting to a faraway destination quickly is a priority, go for it. The average non-commercial motorist can probably drive around 700 or 800 miles in a day without sacrificing safety. Traveling very long distances each day for more than one or two days can become emotionally taxing on the driver. Consider not only how many miles per day are being driven, but also how many days this activity will be sustained, and plan accordingly. Official rules for professional truck drivers are worth considering even for non-commercial drivers. Legally, truck drivers can only drive 11 hours at a time, followed by a 10-hour break. At an average speed of 60 miles per hour, this is approximately 600 miles, which is a good rule of thumb for trips lasting more than a few days.On One Hand: Use Your Best Judgment
On the Other: Be Realistic
