Drive Safe with Uncle Bob / Водим безопасно с Дядей Вовой: Rule 45: Start Rested -- Keep Fresh!

As a young guy who absolutely LIVED for vacations, I couldn't wait to get out of town. I worked the evening shift in a factory, and my habit was to pack before work, then leave immediately at shift change - stopping at home only to pick up my bride (lucky girl!). We'd drive all night, all next day and stop, exhausted, in mid-evening. After six or eight hours of rest, I'd be ready to hit the road again (early, of course) and put in another long day. We'd repeatedly drive twelve to fifteen hour days for our two weeks of vacation. For me, the driving itself was the point of the trip, but I always had to rest for days when the trip was done! She divorced me, of course.
