Every white van I see has the flag of the international red cross flying from it?

It's about time someone dug this one out again....

DEPT OF TRANSPORT INITIATIVE - MAY 2010.

Information Release.

There is concern over the current driving standards in England, so the Department of Transport have devised a scheme to identify poor and dangerous drivers.

This system will allow all road users to recognise the potentially hazardous and dangerous ones, or those with limited driving skills.

From the middle of May 2010 all those drivers who are found to be a potential hazard to all other road users will be issued with a white flag, bearing a red cross.

This flag clearly indicates 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 two flags:
One on each side of the car to indicate an even greater lack of skill and limited driving intelligence.

Please circulate this to as many other motorists as you can, in order that drivers and pedestrians will be aware of the meaning of these flags.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Department of Transport.

A lot of people leave them out all night, and so do not observe the dawn/dusk raising/lowering of the flag, which is generally considered to be an 'insult' to the flag and the country to which it belongs (unless the flag is permanently illuminated).
Also, a lot of them fall off and are left in the mud at the side of the road, which is considered equally insulting, if not more so.

Also, those flags attached to the roof are displayed in an incorrect manner. According to the Flag Institute:

Quote:
On Vehicles:
A car flag should be placed on a staff fitted to the front-right wing, in the centre of front edge of the bonnet, or in the centre of the front edge of the roof.

Apparently, the government is worried that mens willies are getting smaller.
To find out how great the problem is, they have asked all men with penis's smaller than 3 inches to put a white flag with a red cross on their vans.

^^^The willies aren't getting smaller, it's the fannys getting bigger.

I'm a 2 flag man and not ashamed of it.

Checkout your sublimation supplier - they'll sell blank flags and you can put whatever you like on them

I decided that the Ivory Coast's flag was boring I have changed allegiance and am now the country's only official supporter on The Peoples Republic of North Korea ( world's only nation to have a dead man (Kim il sung) as its head of state). My flag cost me £3.00, imperialist capitalist running dogs.

I love the tacky in-ger-land display in Tescos.

Show your love and patriotism towards your country...by wearing it's flag on a g-string, baseball cap or babies bib. Neutral
