The moment I turned 17, I started my driving lessons and worked hard to pass my driving test, although this may be a few more years ago than I care to imagine. When my Nan helped me to buy my first car I had no idea actually how much driving would cost me over the years. 

1. Researchers studied British motorists revealed that over the average lifetime of driving, the typical driver spending nearly seventy thousand pounds on fuel over the course of their lives. 
2. They will also wrack up a bill of forty thousand pounds on MOTs, servicing and repairs
3. There is an incredible £9,404 on parking. 
4. Car supplies like screen wash and air freshener will cost us just under £2,000 
5. Holiday rental car £180 a year £11,610 over a lifetime

Am not sure the last one applies to me though as I am not a big fan of driving on holiday but it is certainly worth considering, especially if you consider the cost of excusions against the cost of 

Cheap Car Rental

 So if my girls want to start driving when they are 17, I suspect I should start saving now!
