Dad's Taxi Service now mums'

Dad's Taxi Service – the famously free lift home regularly exploited by the UK’s teenagers – is now mostly driven by mum, new research has revealed.

Almost six out of 10 rides in ‘Dad’s Taxi’ (58%) are now taken with the nation’s mums at the wheel, according to a UK study by laundry experts Dr Beckmann, which involved a poll of 2,000 mums across their customer database in June 2014.

In fact, despite continuing to be responsible for most of their traditional domestic duties in UK homes, British mums are now taking on more ‘dad’ roles than ever before.
