That's a long time and a lot of miles.
If you were to hop in your car and drive around Planet Earth -- if it were possible to leave your driveway and steer your car in a straight line for days until you eventually ended up back home again -- you would only travel about 25,000 miles.
So people who earn the Million Mile Award have driven accident-free the equivalent of 40 trips around the world.
What is even more amazing is that the Cottage Hill Post Office in the Mobile area recently recognized three Million Mile recipients.

Other Cottage Hill employees also received Safe Driving recognition:
Everyone in the picture above received 5-year safe driver pins unless otherwise noted. Front row: Bob Stock, Laurie Reynolds, Cynthia Tallant, Harvey Sumrall, Sheila Glover. Back row: Brian Gilley, Tommie Crews (3 years), Bob Tolson, Donnie Simmons.
About her safety-conscious staff, Manager Sharon Shelter said, " These are great guys to work with here at Cottage Hill Station. They care about their jobs and work together to get the job done. I have really enjoyed my detail here as Manager, Customer Services, and would like to say congratulations to all of them, especially to my Million Mile carriers, for such a great accomplishment. Continue to be safe, and keep up the good work."
