A threat to road safety, these kinds of so-called drivers spend their time wolf-whistling at women, making stupid gestures with their hands at passers-by and generally carrying on as though they're on the dodgems. They can be found in vans of any colour, or other vehicles such as lorries, but the white van seems to have become traditional with people whose IQs are lower than their shoe size. They are often fat and reckon they're well'ard and'll give yer a slap, yer know wot I mean, mate?
A short guide to white van man hand signals.
Middle finger = "This is the number of my IQ"
Hand-cranking gesture = "This is what I do often because I can't pull a bird on account of too many of them having a brain".
Honking their horn = "I'm a complete inadequate and my vehicle's an altermnative to a dick".

Scam in which the mark is approached in public, typically in a strip mall or gas station parking lot. The version of the scam has different "stories" that go with it but the basic version is that guys work for some type of audio equipment company and have obtained by somebodys mistake an extra set of speakers that they need to sell for cash right away. They have phony invoices and warranties. The sticker on the speaker box will usually be between $2000-$3000. They will try to get $200-$500 for them. Of course when the mark buys them and takes them home, they are junk and sound worse than a clock radio, sometimes they damage the equipment they are plugged into. Commonly the brand name on the speaker is similar to a real high end speaker brand name, but not identical. Genesis seems to be a popular one, but their are others. The scam in so named because the perps usually are in a rented white van..
Ed started telling me about the great deal he got on speakers at the gas station, when I interrupted and asked if the brand was Genesis...and they he said... Ya, how did you know? White van scam dude.

The fear of being hit by a white van while crossing a road. This may be as a result of past experiences or it could very well be genetic. Sometimes the sufferer will refuse to cross the road even if the white van stops for them to cross.

The random guy in a white van with ladders on top who hangs out on the Cape Cod canal in Bourne, MA. There all day, everyday.
I’m just passing the guy in a white van now, be there in 5 mins.
Was the guy in the white van there? Yes, how did you know that? He’s always there, weird.
