I grew up in a rural area. Whenever someone drove down the street that we didn't know, we would wonder what they were doing there.
Since they were in an area outside of the cities, they were probably lost lol!
Certainly could have been, or visiting someone. It was a peaceful place, but I live in an urban area now because I hate driving.
Yes, due to the low population density, there would be more driving in rural areas
There is indeed. Also, there aren't amenities easily accessible - e.g. grocery stores or restaurants - you spend so much time in a car!
I bet, rural areas are typically agricultural so there would be a lot of fields to drive past
