It is something that has always amazed/impressed me - that in a few hours you could drive to another country. It takes me that long to drive to one of my brothers, and he's just on the other side of the closest state border (and I'm close to that border, relatively speaking).

I noticed that the average speed is 100km/h, even if you do most by highways (with a maximum of over 100km/h). It takes about 15 hours to get to my mother (who lives about 1500km away), even though most of the journey takes place in Germany (without an official speed limit on large parts of the trip, and 120/130 on most others).
Just playing around with GoogleMaps... It looks like the longest trip (crossing a country) would be from the Italian-Swiss border to the left-most shore of Sicily (1700km)
(oh, and I live about 40 minutes away from the German border, by car)
