We've all had our bad experiences of White Van Man; cut up, tailgated, verbally abused, given the finger, etc.
But perhaps those days are numbered, as the government has confirmed it will develop a new vocational qualification for van drivers, helping them to "enhance the skills they need to drive for work".
Guru wonders if this means the ability to drive with your knees whilst talking on your mobile, eating a bacon sarnie and looking at a copy of the Daily Star.
Probably not. But it might not be long before White Van Man proudly displays his driving qualification on the side of his van:
John Smith
Electrician
20 years experience
CORGI registered
NVQ Level 2 Van Driving

It's not the government making new legislation. It's the EU giving us aother directive. Their is now a mandatory qualification required for LGV drivers (over 3.5 tonnes). Give it another 3 years and it will be compulsory for white van man too
