Toms View of the World

As a victim of neighbourhood noise in the past, I’m pleased to bring your attention to this website:

http://www.noiseactionweek.org.uk/ - advice on how to avoid being a noise nuicense, and advice on what do you if you’re a victim…

Warning - this site does not play nice in Firefox, and the survey doesn’t fit in the very limited size of the window in any browser… not a great lesson in site design, nor as an advert for the company responsible - however it is an important message regarding consideration.

If only this were true

DEPT OF TRANSPORT INITIATIVE - MAY 2006.

Information Release.

There is concern over the current driving standards in England, so the Department of Transport have devised a scheme to identify poor and dangerous drivers.
This system will allow all road users to recognise the potentially hazardous and dangerous ones, or those with limited driving skills.
From the middle of May 2006 all those drivers who are found to be a potential hazard to all other road users will be issued with a white flag, bearing a red cross. This flag clearly indicates 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 two flags: one on each side of the car to indicate an even greater lack of skill and limited driving intelligence.
Please circulate this to as many other motorists as you can, in order that drivers and pedestrians will be aware of the meaning of these flags.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Department of Transport.

Thanks to Alan on the Rideas forum for bringing this to my attention
