Thats very clear photography there, damn shame that you will never catch the idiot that spilt it all. At least it helps you feel less of a numpty.

Ooh, bloody hell... I hope Greenpeace came out too, there's bound to be seabirds covered in the stuff with a spill that big. Diesel's always an easy excuse when you crash by being a knob, but I reckon if it had been me, I'd have probably binned it too- you plan for most eventualities but planning for everything means you'd ride everywhere at 20mph.

That's a massive spill, no chance of avoiding that mate. I'ts a shame you can't light it and watch the flames finally catch up with the culprit

Hey I know that road!! Just down from where I used to work, in Pendeford, I used to run around there of a lunchtime.

That's a helluva spill. Bus? Truck?
