Or as a macho man is he the only one allowed to drive the Landrover? Just curious why HE had to test drive to Barnard Castle rather than share the driving? .?

A journalist needs to ask this.

Either way if you’re concerned about ability to drive safely you don’t get in a car with your wife and child to drive for half an hour to find out. If you do it at all - you go alone.

I want to know this too! It's the only thing bothering me about his presentation so far.

Likethebattle · 25/05/2020 18:18

I wondered if she can’t drive as he said when his child was in hospital she stated and he came to pick them up later. Maybe she doesn’t drive or can’t medically.

Hoghgyni · 25/05/2020 18:19

She went to hospital in the ambulance with their child, I believe.

Likethebattle · 25/05/2020 18:50

@hoghgyni actually i realised that after posting..,brain not fully fired.

picklemewalnuts · 25/05/2020 18:51

Is there a transcript anywhere? I couldn't bring myself to listen.

FlamingoAndJohn · 25/05/2020 18:52

I do all the driving and I did the test drive on our current car. Dh can drive, but doesn’t.

SaveloyDips · 25/05/2020 18:57

She had symptoms and yet took their child into hospital - why not ask the teenager they had specifically driven up there to use in such a circumstance to take him?

SaveloyDips · 25/05/2020 18:57

...and yes she can drive

slipperywhensparticus · 25/05/2020 18:59

What's wrong with hiring a driver? If you cant drive or dont feel able to drive hire a car with a driver with a screen surely this is cheaper than potentially killing someone because your a twat

ChristmasCarcass · 25/05/2020 19:05

She can drive.

Unless of course that article she wrote where she talks about driving was as full of lies as the one she wrote about suffering from covid.

LesLavandes · 25/05/2020 19:09

Oh please all of you - just drop it. Beach opposite my house was like Costa Brava today. So upset with lots of behaviour. Much worse than Dominic whatever.
We will definitely have a spike again.

Feel free to have a go at British public thanks

Everytimeref · 25/05/2020 19:14

@LesLavandes.

I won't stop it, just because you tell me so, lots of people have stayed home, not gone to funerals etc whilst DC swanned off to his second home, because he ..... Still waiting for the valid reason

ChristmasCarcass · 25/05/2020 19:18

LesLavandes it is not “worse” than DC, it is exactly the same, and Boris and most of the cabinet have spent the whole weekend making statements saying it is completely fine and what kind of idiot thought they actually needed to stick to lockdown restrictions?

That is what we are all pissed off about.

Justnot · 25/05/2020 19:24

Bullshit excuses - only a fool or a Tory would believe them

Justnot · 25/05/2020 19:25

Even the DM has turned on him ffs

FurForksSake · 25/05/2020 19:28

So was the presser that DC gave just a tool for BoJo to use to shut down all the journalists? What rot.

Likethebattle · 25/05/2020 19:29

@FlamingoAndJohn DH does our driving but if needed and in an emergency (like my husband having vision issues) I would take the wheel.

Grobagsforever · 25/05/2020 19:30

She does

Does Dominic’s wife drive?
Grobagsforever · 25/05/2020 19:31

Why are posters replying explaining that their husband does the driving? How is that remotely relevant?

LaurieFairyCake · 25/05/2020 19:35

Even if people are sunbathing on the beach today - it is SPECIFICALLY allowed now

Back on Easter Sunday driving anywhere for a trip out on your wife's birthday to Barnard Castle WAS NOT ALLOWED !!!

You weren't allowed to 'test your eyesight' (what the fuck is that) THEN!!!

Allthebestusernameshavegone · 25/05/2020 19:36

Yes she does!

CokeEnStock · 25/05/2020 20:05

It's all a load of bollocks.

worriedandannoyed · 25/05/2020 20:36

So how did get to the cottage in the first place if he was that ill? And surely he didn't just happen to have a full tank of petrol to get them there.
