Allowing for roads about 30% longer than the straight line and an average of 35 mph, the drive from Dalelia to M&S DENTAL CARE is roughly 50 minutes each way. A course of fixed braces typically means 10 to 20 visits (a consultation, the fitting, 7 to 17 adjustments and the removal), which from here comes to about 600 to 1,200 miles and 17 to 33 hours on the road. At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £270 to £540 in running costs.
