nested transactions?

I'd like to determine the duration between a transaction and a later event in the log. You could think of it as a transaction containing a transaction... Is there a clever way to do this?

Here's a stylized example. I'd like to know the amount of time spent driving w/o seat belt. The log contains the following events. I want the duration between the pair (unfastenend,start) to end.

  • seat-belt-fastened
  • seat-belt-unfastened
  • start-driving
  • end-driving
