The White Van Man, All You Need to Know

The "White van man", or WVM, is a uniquely British term that you are just as likely to hear uttered in Manchester as you are in London.

(PRWEB) October 18, 2008 -- 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.

While WVM may be more accommodating to other van drivers on the road, he doesn't spend much time in their company. He has quite a high opinion of himself - and his driving skills. WVM also tends to see himself as a non-aggressive driver. And because WVM sees himself as a 'good' driver he feels entitled to take the occasional risks which should not be attempted by mere mortals in ordinary cars.
