As you move faster, in your vehicle, than the world around you, you age slower. This increases life spans.

    I’ve been a trucker for many years. Not the fastest vehicle, but still relatively fast and a lot more hours on the road than the average person. I’m pretty sure that time rather shortened my life than extended it. All the sitting and the fastfood are not good for your general wellbeing. Also the fact that I grew to hate the job, was very detrimental.

      Definitely Lifestyle and amount Spent sitting can affect this. Planes, boat and trains probably the best forms

      you should get one of those little exercise pedal devices to sit on the toeboard. Should extend your life by miles.

    Probably a millisecond or less in your lifetime… Unless your vehicle goes close to the speed of light

      I think more like tens of minutes a year.

      This is shown by a set clock in the car not connected to satellite. If you set the clock in may, to the time on your cellphone, then drive until September, you will notice the clock in the car is behind.

        The level of inaccuracy in a regular clock resulting in drift is orders of magnitude greater than any amount of time dilation you would experience.

        This is the reason we use extremely high precision clocks (like atomic clocks) and then synchronize everything else with them. Even your phone’s clock would drift noticeably over a period of a few months if it never synced with some network server.

        The NTP protocol exists precisely for this. There are entire companies that specialize in providing and maintaining synchronized wall clocks for facilities like hospitals, schools, and other organizations.
