Information Release

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT INITIATIVE HAS BEEN RE-LAUNCHED, MAY 2006.


Due to the nature of the quality of driving in England, the Department
of Transport has now devised a new scheme in order to identify poor
drivers and give good drivers the opportunity to recognise them whilst
driving. For this reason, as from the middle of May 2006, those drivers
who are found to be driving badly, including the following manoeuvres;
-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.

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.
