Also to do 600 miles in a day requires a tad more speed than will give

AFAIK there is no legal limit on the driving hours of the private
motorist. Of course if you do drive for long hours or after little sleep
and you have accident your likely to be more severly prosecuted.

It's only 10 hours at 60 average - easy on motorways, even including
fuel stops.

Thought the idea was to be able to do 600 miles (965km) without having to
stop for fuel. B-) 60 average on motorways requires a lack of road works
and traffic but given that yes it's possible.

I averaged 63mph from Siena to cambridge including all the stops and a
ferry crossing: 900 miles clocked. It was probably illegal for 85% of
teh distance.
