Before starting my record attempt between Kemijärvi, Finland and Lagos, Portugal, people told me over and over it would break down in Germany. So much so that I even tried to re-but (pre-but?) some of the likely critique.

Because if you are running into a car delay, it is your fault - you made the decision to take a congested route or not re-route before an obstacle sudenly appeared.
When you travel by train, you give up some control over how that travel goes, thus, if shit goes tits up, people will complain about the operator fucking up.
