How many times around the world have you driven?
Discussion
Prompted by the "How much experience makes you experienced" thread in SP&L I thought I'd try to quantify and visualise the mileage I've done since passing my test as it is far more relevant than age.
Rounding up the world's circumference to 25,000 miles I estimated that I have driven the equivalent of 58 times around the world since passing my test xx years ago. This of course was not driving across deserts but experiencing the worst that the UK traffic and weather conditions can throw at me.
Any advances on 58 times from experienced PH drivers?

Tough one this. I passed in 1997 and reckon I've done a min of 12k/year every year. But suspect some of those years it was more like 20k or more and a couple doing 30-32k/year.Rounding up the world's circumference to 25,000 miles I estimated that I have driven the equivalent of 58 times around the world since passing my test xx years ago.

So a very rough est of 7 to 11 times.

Can you not give us an estimate Monkey?
Well I can but think you might be taking the mick just a little bit, not that I mind though Probably averaged 20k miles a year prior to driving for my livelihood so maybe another 20ish times or so. I am a petrolhead and it has cost me a fortune over the years.
