oowee Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Just watching some police driving program talking abut special operation in Bradford to catch the bad drivers as standards in the town are so low? Anyone live there? Is it really that bad or worse than elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bb Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Bill Bryson did comment that Bradford was only there to make everywhere else look good. And he's travelled most of the world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKPoacher Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 The problem is that there isn't a proper ring road. At rush hours a load of traffic is trying to squeeze through narrow bottlenecks. That causes problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I have dumped two girlfriends purely because they lived either in or near Bradford. Its just a hateful place to drive through or around was that before or after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billytheghillie Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Ha ha. One was so ashamed of living in Bradford she lied and pretended she was from Leeds. The only one that dumped me was from Hamburg and I preferred flying there via Manchester than driving to Saltaire Maybe she preferred the German sausage, better than the English sausage.

rovercoupe Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 The pavements are roads, street racing through really busy areas and mental taxt drivers, the reason i have bull bars and a winch bumper and scaffolding for the rear bumper. It really is the worst place to drive apart from paris at rush hour, now thats crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Its strange its so run down when just down the Road Leeds has made some great improvements. I remember it from University field trip days, when I was sent home after a water fight on the landings of the halls with fire extinguishers Back a again a few times more recently and its changed so much. Lots of investment in the city centre. Yet its neighbour Bradford another university city overlooked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashman Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 A Bradford postcode has the highest rate of uninsured cars in the country. It's not too difficult to work out why the driving is so bad - the drivers don't care. A more difficult question to answer (without getting banned from the forum) is why Bradford has so many uninsured, dangerous drivers...
