Department of Transport Press Release

DEPT OF TRANSPORT INITIATIVE HAS BEEN RE-LAUNCHED, MAY 2006.

Information Release.

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 recognise 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 - taking up more than one lane in multi lane roads

These drivers 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 mindset 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.

Department of Transport.

Thanks for that Dave. I'm glad you have cleared that up.

I have noticed the flags, but assumed that it was something to do with Mercedes A-Class's and Transit Vans.

Thank you for putting me straight.

Blimey, not being much of a footy man, I thought you were talking about the Red Cross guys and have only just twigged! I thought you were being a bit mean ;-)

I'm a poor driver, the cost of maintaining a Landie sees to that :)

Its amazing considering the attitude to obeying any of the DOT's mandates round here, how many of the local populace have taken to this scheme already :)

I copied this and sent it round work. Very popular here in Wales. Many cries of "but I thought you were English?"

"Yes I am, but I hate f***ing football."

The council lawnmowers who cut the grass round my house have got flags on the lawnmowers too!

Ah, but only until such time as some council kill-joy official finds out and bans them. Might cause offence to some newly arrived illegal immigrant you know......

No no, you're all wrong, the presence of an inexperienced driver is signalled by a triangular warning sticker in the back window reading "Baby on board".
