From my drive way to my work car park is exactly 29k's. No traffic lights, only one round about. And up until 12 months ago we had about 5k's of (//) highway to enjoy. Not anymore though. It takes about 20minutes to drive.

My full time job takes about 5-8 minutes to get to (depending on traffic) and my part time job only takes me about 20 or so seconds by car or a 3 minute walk (its quite literally up the road)

I used to drive 3 min to work , 1 T intersection 2 corners and 1 roundabout's .
Now my work is driving around , So I drive anywhere from 30 to 200km just to start then work around that area till I finish , So maybe another 200km that day. My Partner drives 65km each way , All highway.

Average 450-500km a week, work is around 80k's a day, Leave home at 5:05am been doing that for close to 3 years and it's getting fairly repetitive, will move to another company in the next year, likely in the mining sector, More travel yes, but at least i am paid to drive or fly and it's the company's car and not my own.
Done 30,000km this year so far.
