SIR – Bradford police keep a constant watch on our roads, that’s why so many bad drivers are apprehended and banned from getting behind the wheel than anywhere else.

If, however, the police in other parts of our country are not as keen it stands to reason that there will be fewer bad drivers caught and banned.

In claiming that Bradford has the worst drivers in the UK (T&A, May 26) the DVLA should remember there are two sides to a coin and not take all figures at face value.

Nowadays too many people use statistics as a drunken man uses lamp posts – for support rather than illumination (Andrew Lang).
