And Finally... New tests to make 'white van man' politer
A new driving test could transform White Van Man into the most polite and courteous of motorists.
The aim is to give those using vans a similar status and pride as lorry drivers, who need HGV licences.
Ministers and delivery firms hope advanced lessons VANTASTIC will teach respect for other drivers and end a reputation for rudeness and aggression.
Big companies are now talking to the Department for Transport about the proposed Van Test. It will be voluntary, but politicians and bosses hope it willl be popular if employers use it as a passport to jobs.
Jim Fitzpatrick, Road Safety Minister, said: "This qualification will help van drivers improve their skills and show employers they have gone the extra mile."
