Tess   10 #11 Posted October 1, 2008 A few of the people, (notice I didn't say the majority, or all) who drive for a living do seem to have it in their heads they're superior. Yes they spend more time on the road than the average person but it doesn't instantly make them better, nor does it allow them to have priority.  Whilst driving in and around Sheffield I never seem to have any problems at all, but as soon as im on the motorway there are so many white vans who forget how to indicate, don't check mirrors, and the one that really annoys me is when their van is obviously full and they can't go as fast as they like, its still okay for them to sit in the fast lane doing 60mph, refusing to move over for any car smaller than their van.  This is just the MINORITY though so lets not get cross at me now!

technohead   10 #12 Posted October 1, 2008 White Van Drivers - is this not a racist statement?  I think the term is actually comes from the fact that most commercial vehicles are painted white so that signs and logos can be easily printed on the vehicle, it has nothing to do with the driver itself...
