I want to know what the world record is for longest consecutive drive. that is one person, one car, driving without stopping. or stopping for no more than 5 minutes or something (like traffic light) he has to eat and piss in the car you know

EDIT: upped the reward

There's  Longest distance driven on one tank of fuel: Helen and John Taylor set world record
http://www.worldrecordacademy.com/transport/longest_distance_driven_on_one_tank_of_fuel_Helen_and_John_Taylor_set_world_record_112870.html
but I don't see a record for longest consecutive drive yet.

yeah. i need consecutive time awake driving. that would be 26 2/3 hours at 60mph if they drove it straight

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Gardner_(record_holder) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Gardner_(record_holder)) although I'm pretty sure he wasn't driving continuously if at all.

You're still looking for a single driver, right?

I don't think there's much attention for single drivers (for one thing, it's dangerous and therefore possibly illegal). Plus, single drivers probably drive more than 24 hours all the time so no one pays any attention :P

If you do release that restriction, I would like to submit 11 days, 17 hours and 22 minutes of non-stop driving by a 3-man team:

Edit: It mentions they beat the last record by 3 days, which means the previous record holders actually spent more time in their car... I think most of these records for long drives will be about the fastest drive, not most time spent.

what does it matter if they're single or married? yeah single drivers

they couldn't have had that much fuel onboard

I drove this http://goo.gl/maps/EXSVd

Took more than 30 hours because it was during the winter and I stopped for gaz and food. I saw the sunrise 3 times in the same day since we left at the end of day 1.

Second time, I managed to drive a little bit longer but not much : http://goo.gl/maps/TFES8

3000km seem to be the maximum I can drive without sleeping.

no sleep? did you submit your world record

No sleep but, I don't think it's a world record lol. Is it?

Not sure if I could apply for a world record since it's technically illegal in Canada to drive that much without sleep.

You get both a ticket and a certificate for your record.  :P
Anyhow, I don't think 30 hours is the max yet.

fuck that law.

were you on energy drinks, coffee, what?


what types of hallucinations did you have

This guy drove 44 hr 46 minutes.

Looks like Guiness doesn't have a record of this type, though, so I don't know about finding an official source.

Do I win?

It'd be great if he had video evidence

I'm the judge. Let's wait for all entries

Here this seems appropriate.

no

heres something cool i found

http://ask.metafilter.com/191528/The-Longest-Drive-On-Earth

I submit Ab Jenkins.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ab_Jenkins
Jenkins exhausting, 48-hour record is still on the books together with 15 other FIA records from 1940.

Coffee and energy drinks. After 40 hours, I usually begin to see cars and trucks that don't exist suddenly disappearing. Then I stop to get some sleep. Driving that much is not smart... Did it only twice when I was younger.

This is the problem--no one remembers how slow someone was  :D

The 48-hour record means it was the fastest (shortest time) at that time. There were probably people who took 50+ hours, but no one recorded them because they were the losers...

but still dont say if he stopped to sleep for 2 hours or something

http://www.chacha.com/question/what-is-the-longest-non%26%2345%3Bstop-road-trip

that's the official longest for 2 persons in 1 car , still looking for 1 person :)

EDIT : here is one for 1 person.....but it's reverse driving :)

http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records-2000/reverse-driving-articulated-truck-longest-distance-(individual)/

Still researching the subject, looks like the Ab Jenkins 48 hour record was with another driver for a portion(unsure atm of the total consecutive time).  For the 24 hour endurance trips he took 30 second refueling breaks but the driver remained in the seat.

is there a deadline on this?

-R

i guess no deadline

~high

Found this, still looking

The longest journey by car in a single country is 15,793 km (9,813.3 miles) and was achieved by Gennadij Paramonov, Alexey Vorobiev, Alexander Nesterov, Andrey Ivanov, Ilya Novikov, Alexey Simakin, Rafael Usmanov and Denis Solomovich (all Russia), and Rainer Zietlow (Germany) who drove three Volkswagen Amaroks from Moscow to Petropavlovsk (Russia) from 8 February to 8 April 2013.

Got the Answer. No Record Yet

According to Guinness World Records, no record for longest time spent in a car. For info on how to set this record, see www.guinnessworldrecords.com

Would you clarify for us whether you're looking for the longest DISTANCE traveled continuously by a single person or the longest TIME traveled continuously by a single person? Thank you.

woo!


The longest TIME traveled in motion by one person operating a motor vehicle

So was that the answer you were looking for, or do I need to call Guinness. I would really like to get that reward.

yeah call them to confirm there's no record for longest time single driver operating moving vehicle

Alright, 10:00pm my time now will call in the morning

There will be no WR for this as it endangers lives attempting it - going against the self imposed rules.

There is no record. (http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/Search.aspx) Good luck on your attempt!

Yes, I am the money will be going to a good cause, so a  little research and a phone call is well worth it.

This is what I found on out on my lunch break.

According to Julie, at Guinness Book of World Records. This record attempt in the United States would be illegal to drive consecutively. You will need to abide by the same laws a trucker would. Allowing 11 hours for driving and 10 consecutive hours off after driving time. Where your record attempt would come in would be spending this time in the vehicle  while driving and off the clock. meaning you cant leave the vehicle. Yes, even for bathroom breaks. Refueling will be tricky, you may a lot yourself 10 mins to get gas, then its back in the vehicle. You may also have someone pump gas for you to keep from being disqualified from extra time spent paying for gas or standing in line.  Julie also stated that depending on your record attempt you can break multiple records during that period. Most miles driven without leaving vehicle, States visited, Towns passed through, and so on.
  She recommended coming up with you record Idea, break it down to exactly how much time you will be in the vehicle, how you will eat and abide by any laws in the area you will be attempting the record. She also said that during the record attempt it would be best to notify authorites in areas you will be traveling through, if any laws are broken the record does not count.
     Currently NO WORLD RECORD exist,  So type out your record proposal and send to Guinness World records, there contact info is below. After the proposal is enter you will be contacted by Guinness, to let you know how to provide proof, some case's a Guinness Witness may need to be Present at the time of the record. So those are the details you will have to work out with them
 Julie, referred me to this contact info so you can submit your proposal. On Guinness Webpage- http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/contact/

I hope that is the information you needed.

1BxjeUgEU3oN6EKuuamVTvvseTur7VgAYr - Bounty Here please

Called it!

BTC0.055 for i3lome

matt do you want a BTC0.01 consolation prize

i3lome stated his intentions and then delivered with additional information

I'm actually wondering about a site I saw in the newbies forum and whether it's a scam or not (newbiejail.org). Instead of paying me, try out that site with the 0.01BTC and do us all a favor of seeing if it's a scam or not :D

ok so i should make an account to try that?

This might be interesting to you too 420---Nicolas Rapp spent a year trying to drive around the world and documented everything http://transworldexpedition.com/ it's pretty neat.

"In the summer of 2009, Nicolas Rapp decided to take a break from his Art Director job at The Associated Press to attempt a one-year overland travel around the world in a 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser. He was back in New York in February 2011 after traveling 15 months and 37,000 miles."

Received and Confirmed, thank you 420,

Lol coke heads usually don't submit there accomplishments

I guess so!

That kind of world record isn't a good idea. Nobody should attempt it if they enjoy staying alive by not crashing their car from dozing off while on the road. :P

There is no officially sanctioned "record" for the longest time driving solo without stopping at all. Guinness does not support any attempt at it because of the danger of driving without food, bathroom break, and especially sleep. So, the answer to your question is that there is none. Is that worth any bitcoins?

It sure is. But they were already awarded because the answer was already provided  ;)
