How many minutes is 8 miles driving?
I got a job to save up for a huge summer road trip, and I’m hoping to start my shift at work no more than 15 minutes after I get out of school. My school is 8 miles of side roads from my job—can I make it?

You’ll be pushing it no matter what, but how many minutes 8 miles takes to drive will depend on the speed limit on those side roads you mention. If they’re under 35 mph, you’ll need to reschedule your start time.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of how speed limits affect the amount of time it’ll take you to drive 8 miles:
| MPH | Minutes |
| ——— | ——— |
| 25 | 19 minutes, 20 minutes |
| 30 | 16 minutes |
| 35 | 13 minutes, 43 seconds |
| 45 | 10 minutes, 40 seconds |
We know it’s probably tempting to just step on the gas to get to work faster, but getting a speeding ticket is a sure way to end up spending the extra money you make at work on things like
car insurance
