Couriers Are Not Trying To Kill You

It’s a well known fact that couriers have a bad name on our roads today with the nickname of “THE WHITE VAN MAN” meaning that they are always in a hurry to deliver items to businesses and homes all over the UK with every minute a prisoner, couriers driving right up to your bumper and overtaking on dangerous bits of the roads, all to get the job done.

Put yourself in their shoes to discover the pressure that couriers are under to make a living, and if they are working for a company, they need to deliver to the customer on time no matter what happens on the roads.  And this is the reason they don’t have time to dilly- dally. If they work for themselves it’s all about getting as many items delivered rather than time more items mean more money.

So the next time a white van man passes you on your journey, just remember that they are only trying to make a living the same as everyone else.
