Due to the nature of the quality of driving, in England particularly, among certain groups of fan-based individuals, The Department for Transport has devised a new scheme, as part of the highway code, to allow "above average" drivers to identify the poorer drivers amongst us. For this reason, as from June 9th, 2006, which is a relevant date for certain individuals, those drivers found or seen to be driving badly, to include:

• Overtaking in dangerous places.
• Tail-gating at a distance less than six inches.
• Stopping suddenly, for no apparent reason.
• Pulling out into traffic from a parked position with no indication of intent.
• Performing 'U' turns, illegally, in two-way traffic.
• Straddling the centre line of two-lane, bi-directional highways.
• Driving at speeds less than 50 m.p.h. in 30 m.p.h. areas.

These drivers will be issued with flags, white with a red cross (similar to that of St. George) signifying their inability to drive in a correct manner. These flags will be issued with correct brackets to enable these drivers to afix the flag to either side of the car so as to be visible to all other drivers. These flags will be flown at eye level so as to enable pedestrians the opportunity to leap out the vehicle's path when spotted.

Those drivers who have shown particularly poor driving skills will be issued with two flags. One for either side of the vehicle. This will indicate to other road users and pedestrians their greater lack of skill and general lower intellingence mindset toward the general public.

Please forward this information to as many drivers/motorists/pedestrians as possible so that they may be aware of the meaning of these afore mentioned flags.
