He drove 16000km in 10 days. That's an average of 1600km a day. How the F do you accrue that amount of distance without exceeding legal driving limits (either speed or total time/day)?

Rules
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
1600 km / 24 hours = ~66.6 km/hr which is ~40 mph. With two drivers stopping only for bathroom breaks and to buy food, that seems viable. Now if it was ONE driver I’d be concerned
