White van man - rules of the road explained
Discussion
All these from personal observation over the past 4 weeks:
1. When entering a roundabout, I don't need to give way to traffic already on the roundabout
2. Red traffic lights are only "advisory"
3. Speed limits, particularly 30 & 40 in built up areas (where there are elderly people, kids, animals) don't apply to me
4. Its perfectly OK to drive with a fag in my right hand and a phone clamped to my ear with my left hand.
If there are any BiB reading this - when are you going to do something about these morons?
Feel free to add any further rules that you are aware of................

5. When following any other vehicle, if you could fit a fag paper between your van's front bumper and their rear, you have left too much space.
6. Those 13zillionK HIDs you got off eBay aren't dazzling the rest of us at all, and that blue/purple colour looks really cool, no really.
7. If you have a clue which direction you're about to veer off in, don't give other road users any indication or warning.
8. Never use mirrors before a manoeuvre or when reversing, they are for ornamentation only.

9. Remain in the outside lane no matter how empty the inside lanes are and despite the fact that your 0-60 time is well outside 10 seconds.
I popped across the Medway bridge (Dover bound) on the M2 to see five lanes going up the steep hill. Three are empty with white van in four and numerous cars having to 'overtake' him to pull back in. As I pass he is sitting on his mobile phone texting or reading such. Amazing..... well not actually. We can rest assured though as had he been speeding he would have killed everyone or/and been fined and given points.

11. I am allowed to park on any pavement I like or to block anyone's driveway for as long as I like
12. I am exempt from the seat belt law because I have overly tinted windows
13. I am allowed to grossly overload the vehicle without penalty
14. I am allowed to dump my rubbish (especially McDonalds wrappers) anywhere, and from any orifice of my vehicle.

15. When you overtake me on a country 'A' road and then slow down when the limit reduces to 30 mph for a village, I WILL not slow down through the built up area having reached peak s
t box speed, catch you up and then overtake you doing 50mph just to prove the superiourness of my crappy Transit Custom Sport.

One day when I retire and have time I will catalogue the list of faults of drivers of German cars, but I may not live long enough. 1. When entering a roundabout, I don't need to give way to traffic already on the roundabout
