How much would it be to run a car? Just roughly? Starting to get annoyed at public transport, even though I enjoy using it, it is just so impractical to get two kids anywhere on time. Considering getting a driving licence and car. I am SAHM to two under threes and take them on various activities, also my parents live miles away and I like to visit about every six weeks or so, which is easy enough when my Dad can give us a lift, but he now has a job so might not be able to.
Plus, surely it is worse for the enivironment, for example, for my Dad to do a total of four journeys every time we visit (to pick us up, and then to take us home) than for me to just drive us there and back?
...OK, I admit I know I SHOULDN'T get a car, environmentally and socially speaking, but I think life would be so much easier...
I spent over £10 yesterday on public transport, and still managed to get lost. The journeys would have taken about half an hor in total in a car.
How much is it to run a car then? I am 25 and have two years no claims from riding a motorbike in my youth, and have got as far as failing a test in previous attempts to get a driving licence, if that is relevant. DP is 34 and has never had a lesson, but not sure we would even bother having him as a driver as he is at work all day anyway.
