Tips to becomming a white van man
What are the main criteria to being recognised as a ‘white van man’? Perhaps the obvious kick-off point is to own a white van, that said, you could still be excluded from the fraternity. What follows is a list of experiences that to me would guarantee acceptance for anyone into the ’special club’.
Complete disregard for other road users
Now, this is vitally important if you wish to become a member of this club. It can’t be a small bending of the rules here or there, or minor irregularities with the highway code. There has to be no abiding by the rules! If you are driving down a narrow county road, for example, you cannot safely negociate passage past another vehicle. You would have to force the other car to stop to let you pass, or more suitable, run that person right off the road. if you can adhieve this without caring at all, then you are a larger step closer to your goal.
Dominate your steet with your vehicle
Nowadays in most towns and cities the councils have woken up to the fact that lots of money can be made by forcing the population to pay for parking. Now that the parking space outside your house is premium real estate, the permit doesn’t even guarantee slotting your car anywhere near to where your live. But where does ‘white van man’ fit into this? Our bloke probably owns more than one or two vehicles and parks the van outside his house too, consuming more space than anyone else in the street. If you can do this and not care about the neighbours, then you will definitely earn your stripes!
