How many minutes is 7 miles away driving?
My buddy bet me $20 I couldn’t drive home from his house in 15 minutes, but I think that’s more than enough time to cover 7 miles, even though it is all side roads. Which of us is right?

How many minutes it will take to drive 7 miles depends on the speed limits you encounter on the roads between your house and your buddies. If they’re under 30mph, your buddy wins. If they’re over, you win.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of how speed limits affect the amount of time it’ll take you to drive 7 miles:
| MPH | Minutes |
| ——— | ——— |
| 25 | 16 minutes, 48 minutes |
| 30 | 14 minutes |
| 35 | 12 minutes |
| 45 | 9 minutes, 20 seconds |
No matter what the speed limits are, be sure you don’t cheat to win your bet. Getting pulled over for
speeding
is a sure way to lose your bet—and potentially money on car insurance
. But if you do find yourself with a ticket, Jerry
