Most Americans would only go on a road trip if they didn't have to drive
Driving on the highway might save time, but about half of Americans prefer to go through small towns on road trips, according to new research.
A survey of 2,000 drivers also revealed that 42% worry about driving in the dark — making it a scarier prospect than foreign (41%) or unfamiliar roads (37%) for most respondents.
And even though the majority of people (40%) think they’re the best driver they know, 61% claim they would only go on a road trip if they didn’t have to drive.
They’re also only willing to journey about seven and a half hours, on average.
The poll, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of EconomyBookings.com, found that the typical person has taken about seven road trips in their lifetime.
More than three-quarters (78%) of Americans have found hidden gems along the road that they wouldn't have seen if they were traveling another way.
In fact, more than one-third (35%) said they prefer a mix of both planned and unexpected stops, with the most popular destinations including restaurants (46%), historic locations (40%) and roadside attractions (38%).
