Would You Drive on a Bridge from North America to Europe?

Some people complain about the flight from North America to Europe . . . so here’s a hypothetical, would you rather DRIVE there . . . across a huge bridge?

A new poll asked, “If it were ever possible, would you drive across a massive bridge from the USA to Europe?”  Assuming there were proper facilities along the way . . . like rest stops and gas stations.

35% of people said YES . . . 19% of people said MAYBE . . . 18% said NO . . . and 28% said “HELL NAW!”

Let’s do the math here.  If you go on Google Earth and draw a bridge the SHORTEST distance . . . from Maine to Portugal . . . that’s about 3,100 miles.

Assuming a maximum highway speed of 85 miles per hour, it would take more than 36 hours to complete, assuming no stops and a constant speed.  It’s actually comparable to road-tripping from Maine to California.  Except it’s only a bridge . . . over water . . . with no other scenery.  (A train is more realistic.)
