Because one new study says 40% of adults think they are the best driver they know.

The research also found that 42 percent worry about driving in the dark, especially on foreign or unfamiliar roads..

The poll, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of EconomyBookings.com, found that the typical person has taken about seven road trips in their lifetime.

61 percent of respondents claim they would only go on a road trip if they didn’t have to drive.

They’re also only willing to take a journey lasting about seven and a half hours.

35% prefer both planned and unexpected stops, with the most popular destinations being restaurants, historic locations, and roadside attractions.

40 percent feel the driver should get to choose what comes out of the speakers, and 35% like to create their own playlist for long drives.

Not only do road trips give people the chance to drive something new, 53 percent think it gives them the chance to travel on their own schedule.

In the end, 76% of adults would actually choose driving over flying if they knew the drive would be enjoyable.
