Is this correct?

Is this paragraph correct?
Is it correct to say 'with the result that' and 'clocked up'?
I booked a taxi for 8.30 am. The driver arrived early - at 8.20 am - and left his meter running for 10 minutes, with the result that when I got into the vehicle, the meter had already clocked up a certain amount. Is this normal?

Thanks
