The White Van Man, All You Need to Know

It is generally agreed to have been first used in the media by BBC Radio 2's Sarah Kennedy in 1997.

The white van man has had his image somewhat tarnished by the media and tabloid press in recent years. However this iconic symbol has been as much a part of our culture as fish and chips, and can often be seen travelling along our roads early in the mornings, before most of us are even up.

After extensive research it has emerged that the average WVM is a 36 year old male, married, with a business of his own. He doesn't travel too far from home and when on the road listens to the local radio stations. He reads tabloid newspapers and plays football on weekends. He chooses one of the beautiful beaches on the southern coast of Europe to spend his holiday and eats too much junk food. He owns a pet, but it's not a Rottweiler. A vital part of risky driving is good van insurance and all WVM have the best van insurance they can find.... (Continue reading)

Drivers are forgetting their Ps and Qs according to a survey by Swinton with only a measly 2% of motorists always thanking other drivers when given way to.

Just one in ten drivers said they always gave way to other drivers and an astonishing 84% saying they do not give way to other drivers every time - choosing to give way to other drivers either half or just over half of the time.

According to the Department for Transport driver behaviour and in particular, aggressive driving has a direct impact on the number of accidents*. Swinton believes that people's rudeness behind the wheel is a major contributing factor to aggression on the road and therefore partly responsible for the increasing amount of accidents. This in turn leads to an increased amount of motor insurance claims and pushes up insurance premiums.... (Continue reading)
