What are the main qualities needed to become a bonifide recognised ‘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 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. 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

Councils up and down the country have woken up to the prospect of making shed loads of money by changing eveyone for parking. Parking space outside your own house is now prime space, and you are not even guaranteed a parking slot nearby. But where does ‘white van man’ fit into this? Our man must have more than one car, and park his white van in the street, probably taking up more space than four cars. If you are able to do this and not care what is thought of you, then you will be a prime candidate for the accolade!
