Speed limits are going to have a big effect on how long it will take you to drive the 26 miles between your and your best friend’s house. If you have to take side roads, be sure to allow yourself at least an hour to make your curfew, but if you’ll use highways, it could take almost half the time.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of how your speed affects the amount of time it’ll take you to drive 26 miles:
| MPH | Minutes | | ——— | ——— | | 25 | 1 hour, 2 minutes | | 35 | 44 minutes, 34 seconds | | 45 | 34 minutes, 40 seconds | | 55 | 28 minutes, 22 seconds | | 65 | 24 minutes | | 70 | 22 minutes, 17 seconds |
Whether you’ll be late for curfew or not, be sure to follow the speed limit, so you can avoid getting a speeding ticket. But even if you do get pulled over,
