In England it is quite common to find road vans and trucks with a rear bumper that says "How's my driving?" "Well driven?" or a similar sign with a phone number. The idea is that if people can call to complain to the company by antisocial driving one of their drivers, they will be encouraged to move cautiously and courteously.
This all sounds reasonable enough, but being English as they are, it was inevitable that takes it a step further. Although many of these stickers are initiated by the company owning the vehicle, there are at least a couple of organizations you can join so you can manage the system, collect calls and communicating incidents. One of the most widespread precisely called "How's my driving" , and is recognized by its distinctive yellow and black symbol of a triangular shape. 
That's "what about driving?" is a good example of practice that would not make sense to implant in Spain, where driving like constipated ogre is the norm. People what they would do dip into the phone at the wheel and call in time to drop a good word or two thick. However, a couple of months ago I was surprised this van was carrying a sign that other similar but more tedious. See, see (click on photo to enlarge, the blot on the number added).
