What are the main criteria to being recognised as a ‘white van man’? The obvious one is to own a white van – but even this could still preclude you from this exclusive club. 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 can’t be a bending of the rules slightly or a deliberate mistake here and there. It has to be total anarchy! If you are travelling down a narrow road in the county, you cannot carefully drive past another oncoming vehicle. If you can manage it, force the other vehicle to stop and wait for you first, come to think of it, it may be better to run them off the road. If you manage this without damaging your conscience, you could be well on your way to earning recognition.

Intimidate other motorists

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. Outside your house, space is at a premium, and even the unnecessary and expensive permit will not guarantee you a parking space near to your house. But where does ‘white van man’ fit into this? He has got to be the owner of more than one car, and park his van in your street, taking up the space of 4 cars. If you can do this without worrying about the neighbour’s feelings, you are half way there!
