How to get the right attitude to become 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. I will list some of my own experiences, which would guarantee entry into the club for anyone.
Complete disregard for other road users
Now, this is vitally important if you wish to become a member of this club. There can’t be a slight distortion of the rules here and there, or little blind eyes turned to highway code. It has to be total anarchy! If you are driving down a narrow county road, for example, you cannot safely negociate passage past another vehicle. If it is possible you have to force the other vehicle to stop for you, or better still, completely run the other person 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
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 fella probably owns more than one or two cars and parks the van outside his house too, consuming more space than anyone else in the street. If it is possible that you can do this and not give a stuff about your neighbours, then you will pass with flying colours!
