What annoys me is that most of them don't actually have a clue about distances. They have a vague notion of places they visit intermittently enough to make the trip a bit unusual, probably know how far away their workplace is and the rest is beyond them.
I bet if i asked any of my neighbours the distance of the round trip to the local shop and back they wouldn't have a clue. they all drive there - but it's so close they don't need to know if their fuel load will get them there and back.
I think anyone doing an activity involving like cycling/walking/running is much more aware of speed/distance/time than the general populance.
Car travelling friends are much more likely to give an answer as to time it takes them to get somewhere, on average.
