On the Road Again – When Is It Time to Start Your Drive?

Whenever we drive to a destination, we often have to ask ourselves, “When should we leave?” There are many answers to the question. Maybe you need to be at the destination at a certain time. Perhaps you are running errands, and it really doesn’t matter, or you need to be home at a certain time.. Another option could be that you want to avoid traffic at a specific location.

If you need to be at a specific place at a certain time, you need to know how long the drive will take and if there are any delays between you and the destination. If I need to be at my dentist’s office at 10:00 AM, I can leave at 9:50 AM. I can think of several ways to get there if there is a road closure or a crash along one of the routes open to me. The further away from the destination the earlier you need to leave the departure point.
