BS,, at that time of the night/early am its not a 3+ hr drive.. well unless one drives as you suggest and at that time of night/early am somewhere along the way you'd get pulled for a possible DWI for driving so slow and being a road hazard. Easily can make that trek under 2.5 hrs,, easily. 2.25 hrs to be exact. These so called side streets your talking about is roughly 2-3 miles at best. So I wouldnt use that basis as an argument to prove your point.
