    I never realized how different people take this. For me it’s a definite no. A 10 hour drive is how long it takes without breaks, because it makes no sense to have it included, since everyone’s breaks would vary in length.

      Exactly this.

      “How long does it take to get to x?”

      “Four hours if you don’t stop” or … “it’s a four hour drive”.
