I live in East London. Boy do the locals know that flag. Of course, you did
say "speakers" rather than "grunters" ...

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