That's the most plausible 'story' him and his team can come up with! Ill or not, you'd know your own ability to drive or not, can you imagine yourself saying I need to drive 1 hr to a beauty spot as a test?

Goes to show the effort that's been needed to put this jackanory together. Taking the whole nation for fools

Ha ha yep that was a manful effort there but the drive to the beauty spot is the weak link in his story IMO.

His wife said he should test his vision by driving down the road, even though he had just had expert medical advice to say he was ok, and somehow he ended up at a beauty spot half an hour away.

His kid, who remarkably held it in all the way from London to Durham, needed a wee and whoops everyone's out the car accidentally taking in the view.

Not sure why he would get in a car with his kid in the back if he was in the slightest bit worried about not being able to see. Surely you just let your wife drive, or get a driver.

Another dodgy one is the lack of available childcare solutions. Did he at any point ask anyone in London to look after his child? Nope. That's not really a lack then is it?
