Allowing for roads about 30% longer than the straight line and an average of 35 mph, the drive from IV27 to ADC GOLSPIE PRACTICE is roughly 80 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 940 to 1,890 miles and 27 to 53 hours on the road. At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £425 to £850 in running costs.
