Re: how long have you driven alone…
I have twice..no actually 3 times. The journey was supposed to be 4-5. Took me about 6-7. Funny thing is there were thunderstorms both times.
The first time I had kids and a cousin with me. It was fun. My cousin is super shararti, he used to wave to everyone and if they wouldnt then he would make so funny jestures etc…One time this young punk dude was in his mustang and my cousin was making jestures as if he is out running him 
…that dude got really pissed…almost raced us for sometime..(my cousin is 11 )
The second time it was kinda weird. There was this monster 18 wheeler who was at high speed . Red Truck…Super speeder and pretty aggressive driving.
I got a ticket second time too…
..I was 89 at a 70mile zone. 4July. My second ever ticket.
