Subject: New MOT directive May 2006
DEPT OF TRANSPORT INITIATIVE RE-LAUNCH, MAY 2006.
Information Release.
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 which includes:
* 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 and
* 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.
