How many minutes is a mile of driving?
I’m about to drive 50 miles to go camping, and the posted speed limit is 60 mph. How many minutes would it take me to drive a mile?

Enjoy your camping trip!
If you are going 60 mph, one minute is a mile of driving. So, it would take you 50 minutes to drive 50 miles to the campgrounds.
However, your speed can be affected by several factors:
- Road conditions: If it rained or snowed before your trip, the roads could become slippery—especially if you’re driving on unmaintained roads. You would have to reduce your speed todrive safely.
- Weather conditions: Rain, snow, and fog will greatly decrease visibility, so you would have to drive slower to reduce the risk of a collision.
- Traffic: The more traffic, the longer it will take to reach your destination—since you’ll be driving at a much slower speed than the posted limit.
With the conditions mentioned above, you can still get into an accident even if you drive carefully. That’s why it’s important to have sufficient car insurance coverage. Using the
