Red 197 / Crashed in Bradford - east parade 4pm

[Robdaviesss]

Around 4pm just in bradford, by east parade/canal road. Smart 197 in red and a Yaris? Looked nasty, hope all are okay if on here.

Hope it wasn't stolen. But it is Bradford

I was just passing through. Doors locked at all times

Are the gearbox, seats and wheels ok?

Slip the policeman first on the scene £50 and they're all yours.

You'd think that the goon would be keeping a low profile not running red lights with no insurance. Nothing surprises me these day on UK roads though, I absolutely despise driving on the road these days!

That last sentence is so true. Avoid driving through Bradford at all costs, just full of absolute jelly heads.

 

[Stiamh-JM]

I drive through now and again and hate it, time before last I passed an Impreza parked up with half of its front end missing as it had collided with a taxi on a roundabout.
I thought some parts of Leeds were bad but Bradford is 100% mongs.

Nearly everyone is uninsured In Bradford as no one can afford the insurance for living in Bradford

 

[R3k1355]

Probably no licence either, cos why bother in Bradford??

 

[Robdaviesss]

Glad he's alright.

Thought it would be enthusiast owned.

Shame that all the sterotypes of BD are 100 correct.

I despise living here, and working here. It's an awful place, no one can drive properly. I saw a car driving down the opposite side of a 3 lane carriageway the other day in the wrong direction, and strangely I didn't bat an eyelid as it's so common.

I'm glad I'm moving back out.

You can't blame him for driving uninsured and jumping red lights, it's just part of his culture.

I would be bloody gutted if that was me. Especially if there was absolutely nothing I could have done to avoid the collision (I know he jumped a red light, but in most cases a bit of defensive driving can avoid a collision. Followed by copious use of the horn..). Poor fella, first living in Bradford, now this!

I looked at a flat in Bradford and loved the place, even considering the BD postcode. However my car insurance wanted an extra £500 a year for the pleasure of a BD postcode. In Leeds, even dodgy LS12, it was the same price as the leafy village I used to live in down south! Bradford really is a special place when it comes to driving.

Meaning?

I was going to say this.

Buy a car for £50 from the dodgy bloke on the corner and go for a spin.

I did this once.

Never again. Hateful place

how does insurance work these days with an uninsured hitting you ? is it a gang f**k ?

I believe that those of us who do buy insurance all pay an amount within it that goes towards an 'uninsured drivers' fund, which those who are hit by uninsured morons are able to claim off.
