Who to call in event of bad diesel on the road?

I reckon 999 is the right number. Or call the local council and tell them you called 999 already.

I think diesel on the road makes as big a mess of a Pan European with stripes as much as an SV650.

Coppers are not exempt from falling off.

Good post.

The road i use every day has a huge dark diesel line EVERY single day roudn the middle/outside. All the trucks just seem to be ignoring the current fuel prices.

When it come to wet days, corning is somewhat slow. Even in the dry i have to stick as far to the inside as possible.

I will happily complain every single day untill someone starts coming down on the lorry companies, so if anyone knows the best number to call (A228 - Rochester to M20) around this area i'd be gratefull

How bad is it when you go over diesel.

I saw a massive amount on a roundabout coming off the A23 last night. Luckily my exit was just before the mess, but how are you meant to handle diesel? Are you definitely going down once your on it?

Im a noob and im sh|t scared of the rainbow when it gets wet out there.

It is the County Council or Unitary Authority that have responsibility. I have called my council (Denbighshire) about diesel before and they sorted it out in an hour.

It is always slippery! But I have gone over small patches in a straight line and not felt anything different. The problem is always at roundabouts and bends...same as wet manhole covers. Very dangerous...even for cars. Be careful out there.

As for the A228...that would be KCC or medway council depending on where along the A228 it is.

BMF do a 'Report a Road' site with all the links to the councils and such you need to contact from diesel spills to grit and other things on the road.

That site says:

Note: In cases of diesel spillage, mud, or other road surface contamination that is a danger to road users, notify the local police.
