Default Have you seen a Scooby with 'chav flags' on yet?

New Traffic Law:

In order to assist other motorists in identifying potentially dangerous drivers, it's now compulsory for anyone with a lower than average IQ to display a warning flag (comprising of a red cross on a white background) attached to the top of at least one door of their vehicle. For drivers of exceptionally low IQ, an additional flag on the opposite side of the vehicle is required.

Cool

Yep here is my one at the Nordschleife last weekend.



You had better send an Email to my boss at HP Openview R&D telling them I am a CHAV and have a lower than average IQ.

PS I don't drive with it on I only had it on whilst parked. so am I still a CHAV or just a part time CHAV?

I haven't seen one on a scoob yet, although I did see one hurtling toward my windscreen at 100mph the other day on the M62, having become dislodged from the tw@t in front of me in a riced-up saxo. Fortunately I managed to get out of the way of it. I sincerely doubt they've been wind-tunnel tested somehow ...

havent got a flag myself, but whats with the big hate campaign??? if i was in Italy and saw a car with an Italian flag on it i wouldnt batter a eyelid..??? i think we've been so battered with PC behaviour we're ashamed to show a bit of pride in our country. Very sad IMO.

Due to the increase in road traffic accidents the DVLA (Driver Vehicle
Licensing Assocation) have announced a revolutionery new scheme aimed
at reducing this alarming statistic.
From now on any driver deemed as being a bit stupid and likely to do
something spontaneously silly whilst in a car, will be issued with a warning
flag.

This flag will be white with a red cross and will be flown in a prominent
position from the owners car.

Although these drivers are quite dangerous the ones to *really* watch out
for are those flying 2, 3 or even 4 warning flags. These people have a
very limited driving ability and should definitely be given a very wide
berth.

An AA spokesman has said that those deemed safe, intelligent drivers
have immediately welcomed this initiative.

I've stuck the little george cross sticker that came in the Daily mail last weekend on my number plate over the top of the EU flag , not because of the football but because I'm English NOT European , Hope this doesn't make me a Chav

I just saw one at dinner. Funniest thing was what I saw last night though, we have a couple of local chavs up my road and they drive a 106 & volvo s40 complete with neon washer jets Last night I pulled around the corner to see a flag on each front window and one from the ariel on the 106 then this morning I saw the volvo done up the same I must try and take a photo later

the difference between the English and Italians flags is easy in my opinion. When i see an Italian flag i instantly think of good looking women, pasta, fast cars etc, things that make me want to go there. The English flag makes me think of fat, bald headed yobs covered in tatoos, holding a pint and shouting a form of abuse, if not attempting to have a fight!!

Well related to football anyway

In order to reclaim the flag, you'd need to increase the quantity of good looking women waving the flag or wearing patriotic "St Georges Cross" coloured mini-dresses then

Saw my first Scoob with flags (two) this morning White classic turbo driving through Calne in Wiltshire. I think he'd have been better off painting a red cross on his car

Default I'll be glad when this is all over!!!!

My neighbour has taken this one step further
After he finished with his car, he spray painted a giant St George's cross on the side of his garage, and has now got a St George's cross awning over his barbecue, ffs.
If this wasn't tacky enough, we now have to put up with full volume repeats of 'Vindaloo' blasted into the garden for the full duration of any match day

It was such a nice quiet village 'till the chavs moved in

I'm going to name and shame.I was driving through Warrington yesterday afternoon and a saw a rather nice WR Blue 01 with all the trimmings and then noticed the TW#T flag on the rear window, it was then i realised it was none other than NICK ADAMS car who is a Scoobynet regular.

He blamed his beloved for fitting it as she was using the car earlier on (Blatant lie) i've vowed not to talk to him until it is removed.

Chav flags in Mirfield.......... jeez - brings the wholer neighbourhood down!! - my father has to live there so he wont be best pleased..............

I'd commit suicide before putting a 'I am a thug' flag on the car..... I think a few have got it right with what the flag showing culture represents......not that most who have the flags would understand as their IQ would be below 100 anyway!!

I can say all this cos I'm Scottish
