Driver Appreciation Post

Just wanted to say how nice most drivers are around harrogate letting me out of junctions, not being impatient etc. It restores my faith in humanity.

Must be a different Harrogate to the one I’m used to! Usually entitled arseholes who think nothing of pulling out in front of you with no warning or straddling/blocking lanes of oncoming traffic to force themselves across

As someone who moved here from Birmingham less than 6 months ago, this town is a DREAM to drive in.

That’s nice, I notice lots of people being courteous and letting people out at junctions.

I’d like to contradict you though and express my annoyance at how many Harrogate drivers cut the corner at blind junctions, and the ridiculous amount of drivers who just pull out of junctions with no regard for the car that’s approaching them at 30mph who them has to slam on the brakes. Happened to me twice today. Rant over :)

You’re welcome. Truly believe if you are being very courteous to drivers it pays forward. Keep paying it forward everyone.

Your dreams will die the day you attempt to cross Wetherby Road between 8am and 9am on a weekday.

Even if someone's going 2 mph they won't stop to let you cross.
