    this is definitely a weird sentence to say in English...Is this a common way of saying where you are going in danish?

        Would kører bilen (without i) be wrong?

          So does this mean "to my mother's house/to my mother's place"?

            It can, but not necessarily.

            Do you suppose we could also say "Jeg kører i bilen imod min mor"? Is it an appropriate usage in Danish?
