Van Insurance

White van man is no more

The age-old stereotype of the 'White Van Man' is outdated, and no longer reflects the typical van driver, new research suggests.

The common view of the typical van driver is of a grumpy, aggressive male driver, guzzling fried breakfasts and pints of larger.

But a recent survey conducted by a UK van insurance provider has now found that van drivers are better educated, healthier and are bigger fans of beauty treatments than most people think.

The survey found that, of the 559 van drivers polled, over 40 per cent were well-educated, possessing at least A-levels.

In the healthy eating stakes, the greasy fry-up is definitely out of favour, with only one in six favouring it over a healthier alternative breakfast – over a third of van drivers claimed to eat porridge or muesli for breakfast instead.

Furthermore, the hard-man image has been further damaged by the finding that around 6 per cent claimed to have regular waxings and facials.
