Dad’s taxi, operating since you were born
You may have been over the moon when you finally passed your practical driving test and got your own car – but your dad might secretly have been even happier than you.
A survey of fathers, undertaken by Halfords Autocentres, has discovered that dads drive their children a distance the equivalent of right around the world by the time they turn 18. Not only do they spend a large amount of their time playing taxi, but according to the research they would have to charge their children around £3,893 for the petrol.
And here’s the worst bit for many of these long-suffering dads – only one third of the youths say “thank you”.
So if your dad seemed enthusiastic about you taking lessons and passing your test and getting your own car – now you know why!
You may want to give him a lift somewhere for Father’s Day.
