well, for one thing, knives can't cut gold...
assuming, though, that his knife is tougher than gold, he can try folding the gold bars in such a way that they're neatly tucked on top of each other, forming six rows. then the man can cut them in half, so he ends up with twelve half-bars. (anyway, you can try drawing this in paint, make a zig-zag line with six rows and then cut it lengthwise)

cut the six bars into blocks of 1, 2 and 3. After the first mile, give the driver 1. after the second, take the 1 back and give him 2. After the third, take back the 2 and give him 3. After the fourth mile, give him 1. After the fifth mile, take back 1 and give him 2. After the sixth mile, give him 1.

If he's leaving him there why does he have to cut the gold? Perhaps a good English class, its hard to get your point across clearly................this is a joke correct???
