Getting orthodontic treatment from NW1W

Allowing for roads about 30% longer than the straight line and an average of 35 mph, the drive from NW1W to OLD TELEPHONE EXCHANGE is roughly 180 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 2,070 to 4,140 miles and 60 to 120 hours on the road. At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £930 to £1,865 in running costs.
