At the risk of this being SIAL

DEPT OF TRANSPORT DRIVING INITIATIVE

RE-LAUNCHED, MAY 2006.

Information Release.

As part of an ongoing Government initiative to improve the quality of driving in England the Department of Transport are re-launching their scheme to identify poor drivers and give good drivers the opportunity to recognise them whilst on the roads.

It comes into effect as from the middle of May 2006 and applies 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,

Parking in disabled spaces and

Using a mobile phone whilst driving.

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.
