Who`s done the most miles since passing their test?

[iandbeech]

In thirty years of motoring, I`ve worked out that I`ve covered approximately 700,000 miles since passing my test!

Roughly 23,000 gallons of fuel - how green is that?!

So green, you could lay down and pretend to be grass.

Ive done about 15k miles now (all in the last 16 months)

One of the lorry drivers will win, methinks.

Cheers,

Had a license 5 years and driven over 100,000 miles. (and i spent 2 years at uni without a car although I did manage to do 10,000 miles in 4 months over each summer).

I did 21,000 miles last year.

I've got Pass Plus and have completed an 8hr RideDrive course.


Whats annoying is that in the eyes of the insurance company i'm young and inexperienced!

And who would that be I wonder?

[raf dug]

Approx 2000 miles per week lets call that 100, 000 a year plus 6000 a year in my car.
I passed my HGV 1 when I was seventeen(forces dispensation),i'm now 41. So thats 106,000 times 24 years, I make that about 2,544,000 miles approx

I've had my licence just shy of 6 years, and if I've worked it out right, I've done about 175,000 miles now. Which isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things!

Ime trying to work on the assumption that i perhaps do 80,000 at the most in a year and as little as 50,000 with work/pleasure and even when i was doing my other jobs ide cab it in the evenings...i think ive probably done in the region of a million and a half miles at the very least.

I would hazard a guess that I have done and average of twenty miles a day. Which would be a paltry 146,000..

In a few years you won't have to calculate this stuff, the government will have it all on record.

100-odd times round the planet, roughly. Impressive!!!

The moon is about 250,000 miles away as well, so there and back 3 times as well.

Would be interesting if you could work out your average speed for the whole lot as well!

My last truck (420hp volvo fh12) told me I was averaging 40mph, even though it spent most of the time on cruise control at 56mph.
My new one tells me i'm getting 7.5mpg which means I must have done my bit for the enviroment as well(it's greener diesel).

I passed my test 5 years ago in July next year and have done around 220000 since then.

[vixpy1]

passed my test 7 years ago.. and rapidly approching 300K now

[MartinD]

At last count a few years ago I was at 1,500,000 + miles in 25 years & none of it in Lorry's , from '90 to '96 I drove nearly 700,000 mainly in sports cars

[Stamp]

On the trucks I was doing 65000 miles a year, roughly for 10 years. I now do about 20000 a year.

[speedy_thrills]

I’ve never driven a single mile, they have all been kilometers.
