How many drivers have messy vans?
It probably didn’t start that way.
But over time, life gets busy, and you’ll “tidy up next time.”
We all know “next time” rarely comes.
Suddenly, you’ve got cans, coffee cups, and wrappers piling up in the cab.
Sound familiar?
But is it really a problem?
Actually, yes—it can be.
Imagine something on the floor rolling over to the driver’s compartment.
What could happen then?
Two things are likely.
You need to brake, but there’s something lodged under the pedals.
Or, you decide to move it—and now, you’re distracted.
Both situations can lead to serious consequences.
If your van’s too messy, you could even face fines and points on your licence.
Did you know?
While there’s no specific law against a messy van, Rules 117-121 and 144 of the Highway Code might still apply.
Law enforcement, for instance, could easily notice you struggling with clutter.
As a result, depending on the severity, you might face a fine of up to £5000.
And in the unfortunate case where a fatality occurs due to distraction?
A prison sentence may inevitably follow.
Think it’s rare?
Apparently, millions of drivers leave rubbish in their vehicles.
But if your van looks more like a skip, it’s time to clean up.
Take it home.
But don’t throw rubbish out of the window.
Rule 147 of the Highway Code prohibits that too.
This includes cigarette ends and all that clutter.
Remember, it’s about consideration for others—especially cyclists and motorcyclists.
