Bradford: So, have you seen that new map showing the most dangerous places to drive in the UK? It turns out Bradford is at the top of the list! Crazy, right? The stats are pretty shocking.
They found that there are about 247.5 dangerous driving offences for every 100,000 people in Bradford. That’s like one offence for every 420 folks! Over three years, there were more than a thousand dangerous driving incidents, and sadly, some even led to injuries or worse.
Leeds isn’t far behind either, with a high number of dangerous drivers caught. It’s wild to think that the top four areas with the most drivers racking up points on their licenses are all in Bradford. One in twenty drivers there has at least six points on their license!
Just last year, there were some tragic accidents in the area, including one where a young woman lost her life. It really puts things into perspective about how serious this issue is.
And get this, all the top ten areas for dangerous driving are in West Yorkshire or Greater Manchester. If you’re curious about how your area stacks up, there’s an interactive map you can check out.
Overall, police in England and Wales reported over 5,700 dangerous driving incidents last year, with a notable increase in serious cases. Dangerous driving can mean anything from speeding to driving under the influence, and the penalties can be severe.
So, if you’re driving around, it’s definitely worth being extra cautious, especially in these hotspots!
