I assume that's diesel and not you weeing yourself while taking the roundabout. :lol:

kwak zzr 10-07-06 12:04 PM

i might as well have been my pee! no it was diesel.

Ed 10-07-06 12:15 PM

That is appalling. Well done you for reporting it. Wonder if the council did anything.

Lesson to those who drive diesel cars - don't overfill the tank.

That pic should be sent to the folks behind the "Stop Spills" campaign. That is totally dreadfull! :shock:

Think you'll find the culprit of major diesel spillages are lorry drivers. They overfill their tanks on long trips to avoid having to stop on the way for a fill up.

You should always keep your nose sniffing out for diesel, you should be able to smell fresh spillages a mile off!

Are these lorry drivers who spill diesel all over the roads related to those lorry drivers who complain about the price of fuel?

I saw a sticker on the back of a bike once that said, "If diesel's so expensive then don't spill it on the road"

one or two lorries might spill diesel, but remeber, a sealing cap is an mot requirment, so most lorries are spot on..

it could have been a car, or a motorbike carrying an open thing of diesel...

u never know...
