    Doh!

    The one point of teaching children to drive is so that you can recoup all the driving you have done to the childrens activities through the years.

    You now have a chaffeur to drive you back from dinner parties and ceilidhs etc.

    That doesn't seem to work though, as soon as they pass their test you rarely see them or your car! Until it needs filling up with petrol anyway :D
