B: Say to wife "Not sure if I'm up to this, so I've decided to take a trial run. About thirty miles should do it, to this big castle place I know. Unfortunately it's at absolutely stunning beauty spot, which is a shame really, it being your birthday today. I want you and the kid come along, so at least if I crash the car we'll all be in it together. At least our dying thought can be that how right I was, not to try for home."
Answer: Well, not "A" obviously. That's a really stupid idea, as any man will tell you.
