How many times around the world have you driven?

[RegMolehusband]

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?

Nearly 4 times a year for the last 8 years, and have been driving for 40 years so quite a few more times before this.

Can you not give us an estimate Monkey?

I've done 11 years at 65,000 or so, followed by 12 at 35,000.
If my maths is correct almost 46 times

Another good Earth score - well done Manic

Truck driver for the last 20 years and I drive 100,000 miles per year, so that's 2 million miles therefore the answer is.....80 trips round the world.

I win.

Yes, we do in fact have a winner (so far).
