Bristol has been named the worst city for dangerous driving in the UK.

A study by the Compensation Experts revealed that out of the whole of the UK, Bristol roads have the most dangerous drivers followed by London, Cardiff, and Leeds.

More than 2,000 UK drivers were surveyed to find out which cities are home to the most dangerous drivers in the country.

IAF I think all surveys are dependent upon what people say.  I think that’s kind of how they work 😉

It’s as real as you want it to be.

And you’d be surprised what you can find down the local store

This just sounds like an excuse for squirrel exploitation to me.

Exactly how many hazelnuts were they demanding for its use anyway?

Dagnammit! I’m surprised that hasn’t happened more often.

Strangely, that was just a link to their copy of the image (as opposed to downloading it and then uploading it here), but I’m not trying to rob them of any squirrel-related proceeds.

Just throwing it out there: those cities are literally a who’s who of where voted remain in 2016.

The statistics are based on driver answers to a questionnaire, so we can extrapolate that Remainers are considerably more honest and less delusional than Leavers. Just throwing it out there.

You get more troll points if you can get people to argue against you as if your lies are true.

Nigel’s grasp of falsehood is on show here. Leeds voted Remain by 50.3 to 49.7. Cardiff was 60-40 and Bristol 62-38. None of those three make the top 10.

Let’s face it – I suspect that if you stopped a random group of drivers in Bristol, far more of them would fail a drugs test than an alcohol/breath test…

I daresay that you’re right, though that’s to be expected as drugs can stay in your system for a lot longer than alcohol.

Alcohol is a drug don’t forget, and in spite of being legal one of the more dangerous to the individual and more damaging and costly to society.
