Does a "10 hour drive" include breaks?

The American way of expressing distances by drive time - what does that include?

“To me, anything more than 4 hours is a 1 day drive.”

Wow, where do you live that 4hrs is such a big deal? To be fair, I used to work with a guy that had to pack a lunch and plan his trip days in advance just to “go into town” which was maybe a 45min (75km) trip each way on a 4 lane divided freeway.

I just don't like driving that much. If it's more than 4 hours, I'd rather split it two and sleep in between, so I can also do other stuff on both days.

Same. I hate driving as well, I can’t imagine driving somewhere for 4 hours, doing something, then turning around and driving back another 4 hours the same day.
