Another vendor told The Beijing Youth Daily they “can leave a permanent scar, but are a legal, non-lethal tool. Not a weapon.” Chinese police have warned that the devices are against the law, but they were still being sold on the Chinese Internet on Tuesday.
"Flames and the super high temperatures are enough to scare the bad guys away,” said one website, which added that the flames can last for 30 minutes. "At that crucial moment, you could also become an anti-terror SWAT,” said another.
It is unclear when the devices were first being sold in China, although The Beijing Youth Daily said they had become “very popular” when concern over sexual harassment peaks at the start of summer, with some stores selling up to 300 a month.
In the first half of 2017 the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders recorded 100,316 newly registered Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) in white ? nearly five times the nearest colour, silver, with a paltry 24,482 registered.
But while the colour might still be in fashion, it is high time the old and unfair stereotype of British van drivers was parked for good.
The term ‘'white van man'’ was coined in 1997, when an article in The Sunday Times claimed that drivers of battered, LCVs were often selfish, inconsiderate and aggressive. That’s certainly changed.
In fact,
cheap real jordans, most commercial fleets are spick and span, with colour wraps advertising their business and many new vehicles have luxury interiors,
cheap authentic jordans, alloy wheels and other extras. What’s more, as an increasing number of Britain’s
commercial vehicles are leased,

So, what other myths about Britain’s vans need debunking?
It’s just one man and his van
LCVs are the go-to choice for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), so the idea of a ‘‘white van man’’ culture is laughable. It’s not simply tradesmen who use these vehicles; a remarkable number of organisations across a wide variety of industries do too.
The latest Department for Transport (DoT) figures, published in February, showed that in 2016,
cheap air jordans, LCVs (defined as vans with a maximum gross weight of 3.5 tonnes) travelled a record 48.5 billion miles on the UK’s roads. That number is all the more eye-catching when you consider it was an increase of 21.4pc on the 2006 figure and 69pc higher than in 1996.
The DoT report also said that during the past four years, LCV traffic has increased by 4.1pc on average per annum – the most of all traffic types over the period. And last year each van travelled 12,811 miles on average,

Most vans are old and dirty
Gary Holmes, product manager at Direct Line for Business, says modern vans are flexible,http://users.atw.hu/downfall-team/index.php?site=forum_topic&topic=8646cheapjordanshoesfreeshipping.com/bolg, reliable and well-suited to the growth of online shopping and expectations of rapid and multi-drop deliveries.
Changes to taxation rules for vans and recent legislation aiming to crack down on environmentally damaging vehicles made them a more attractive option for business owners, who are opting to invest in newer,
greener and more efficient models.
“Our recent analysis highlighted that nearly one in five (18pc) of new vehicles registered in the past five years have been vans,

And there is no sign of this trend slowing down.”
Any van will do
“Business owners value the appearance of their vehicles and the knock-on effect it can have on their image. When competition for business is high, a shiny, well-kept vehicle can make all the difference,” says Mr Holmes.
The idea of a
battered van coughing black smoke is truly outdated. “It has never been easier to purchase a van, or upgrade a fleet, thanks to a growing variety of funding, financing and leasing options – and that means there is no excuse not to keep commercial vehicles up-to-date, says Mr Holmes.
“Safety is paramount,” he continues, “and as with any profession, first impressions do count. Turning up to a new job in an old banger, irrespective of the quality of the workmanship, can instantly put doubt in the minds of clients.”
Greener, safer vehicles far outstrip their equivalents of yesteryear. The all-electric Renault Kangoo Z.E., for example, is fitted with a lithium-ion battery, offering great performance. It’s simple to charge and can be recycled at the end of its life.
They’re just something to write rude words on
A plain white van is an increasingly rare sight on the UK’s roads. That’s because SME owners have realised that writing a corporate message on their vehicles is a brilliant advertising opportunity,

An eye-catching design, accompanied by salient information about what services they provide as well as contact details, is a cost-effective way to attract new customers.
Consider that in traffic-heavy areas – such as central London – vehicles can be viewed by more than 3,000 potential customers per hour, according to research published recently by multinational signage giants 3M. “There are many benefits delivered by using your vans to market your company,” says Norman Mayhew, managing director of The Sussex Sign Company.
“It provides an economical and highly effective mobile advertisement that goes wherever you go, so it's no surprise that vehicle graphics and wraps are one of the fastest growing forms of advertisement.”
