Allowing for roads about 30% longer than the straight line and an average of 35 mph, the drive from Sourlies to M&S DENTAL CARE is roughly 45 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 510 to 1,020 miles and 15 to 30 hours on the road. At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £230 to £460 in running costs.
