Parents drive 207 million miles a week taking their children to recreational events. If charged at hackney carriage rates this would total more than £370 million a week (more than £19 billion a year).
The study shows that more than 10 million parents devote time to driving their children around, covering an average of 20.05 miles a week worth £35.80.
