UK Transport law

**Rock** · 05-31-2006, 06:57 PM

DEPT OF TRANSPORT INITIATIVE - MAY 2006.

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 2006 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 inform this to as many other motorists as you can, in order
that drivers and pedestrians will be aware of the meaning of these
flags.

I've seen some blue flags with white crosses on them. What does that signify?

Similar initiative on this side of the pond, though we're using red and white striped flags, instead of flags with crosses.

I think the USA needs this law, equip each car with "flag launchers", you would see some cars loaded with flags.

Lorian · 06-04-2006, 05:09 PM

I still get the impression that non English people don't get this.

This flag:

Is the English flag, lots of people have them on their cars during the world cup.

And I suppose you're going to say Obione was referring to the Scottish flag, huh?

Jeesh...

This joke WAS too tight...

I do wonder why there's an English team and not a British team...

Lorian · 06-04-2006, 06:54 PM

Great Britian is England, Wales and Scotland
United Kingdom is England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Island.

That's why.

**leejo** · 06-04-2006, 09:04 PM

Well, if you see a blue flag with a white cross, pull over and salute. Altera Merces.
