Just factor it in when you ride.

I work for a bus company and as such I can confirm that we have a large number of complete helmets working for us who would most definately be forgetful enough to leave the filler cap off and splosh diesel all over the road.

Yeah- but this was a quiet residential road. 400m from the main road- nothing industrial to invite too many HGV's about, but I guess it takes just 1 idiot delivery lorry...

Was so trod in from cars that it wasn't easy to spot either until looking hard. Never mind, eh?
