Mel (& Paul) Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Due to the nature of the quality of driving in England the Department of transport has now devised a new scheme in order to identify poor drivers and give good drivers the opportunity to recognize them whilst driving. > > For this reason as from the middle of May 2006 those drivers who are found to be driving badly, which includes: overtaking in dangerous places; hovering within one inch of the car in front; stopping sharply; speeding in residential areas; pulling out without indication; performing U turns inappropriately in busy High Streets; under taking on motorways and taking up more than one lane in multi lane roads, will be issued with flags, white with a red cross, signifying their inability to drive properly. These flags must be clipped to a door of the car and be visible to all other drivers and pedestrians. Those drivers who have shown particularly poor driving skills will have to display a flag on each side of the car to indicate their greater lack of skill and general lower intelligence mind set to the general public. Please circulate this to as many other motorists as you can so that drivers and pedestrians will be aware of the meaning of these flags.

bad eggs Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 If they are a bad driver displaying 2 flags, what do you call a driver with 6 flags flying from the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I've found there is a traffic curfew during the World cup. I went for a bite to eat with OH and drove back last night and the roads were lovely and quiet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
