I have quite a long drive ahead of me next month. It's about 1/12 hours, but I've don it before so I'll be fine.
I put music on and open the window. Otherwise I'll disappear into my own little world, and that's not a good thing to do when you're driving!
It really helps to pass the time, not to mention it can calm you down. And the drive's quite easy and very pretty, which help.
