What makes a White van man?
How do you identify the main criteria to obtaining recognition 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. Perhaps I can shed a little light on my own experiences, which list what I feel would guarantee entry into the ‘privileged ‘club.
Complete disregard for other road users
Now, this is vitally important if you wish to become a member of this club. It cannot simply be a slight bending of the rules or a deliberate misinterpretation here or there. Total anarchy is necessary or nothing! If you are going down a narrow road, to quote an example, you cannot somply let another approaching vehicle go safely by you. It is necessary to try to force the oncoming vehicle to stop and let you through, or totally run them off the road. If you can manage to do this without the slightest pang of guilt, then you are well on your way to earning your spurs.
Dominate your steet with your vehicle
Councils up and down the country have woken up to the prospect of making shed loads of money by changing eveyone for parking. So space in the street outside your house is now at a premium, and even with a permit does not guarantee you a slot near to your house. 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!
