most distance you've covered in a day, and in what

In my opinion I'd rather drive with someone doing 160 on the highway than someone sitting dead on the speed limit who's been driving on their own for ten hours or more.
Fatigue is a far bigger killer than speed, and the interesting thing about fatigue is how it sneaks up on you. It's also different to being "tired". The saying is that you will know you're "tired", but you won't know that you're "fatigued"...it truly sneaks up on you without you realising it, and it takes a second person to notice what's happening.

Fatigue kills far more people but is a "silent killer" as it can't be measured after an accident.

Driving a truck at 100 KM/H is not as bad as a good car, because you are more involved with having drive it.

But a good car things just get so boring.

If one drives long distance all the time, you get better at it.

Fatigue is different for sure I would just cruse along just taking it easy at 240 KM/H on my ZX10 for about 100 KM then I noticed I was about 1ft out of where I wanted to of been coming through a corner once, so, right I back off and just plod along around 160 or so and that was the next town any road.
I just road to where I felt comfortable and never push my self.
If you try to push your self, then you are most likely going to end up dead.

I hear people claiming of getting from A to B in X time, that's totally insane and a recipe for sure disaster and if you don't know the road never ever don't even think of it.

Driving a good car 140 to 160 is fine as it keeps you alert but there are some spots you just back off as you know it's best not to, as there are danger spots around where cars come across the highway etc.
