Re: Who to call in event of bad diesel on the road?
As already mentioned, you are allowed to call 999 for diesel spills as it is a specialist road hazard.

Re: Who to call in event of bad diesel on the road?
Just out of curiousity - how do you all know it's diesel? Do you just see a rainbow patch and assume diesel?
I would argue that most of the rainbow blotches I saw were actually oil drips. When one single drop of oil hits a wet road it spreads massively, creating the large rainbow blotches, when in fact is a tiny amount of oil! I'm not doubting that diesel is a hazard or that it is not dangerous, but from my experience of riding in the UK, it isn't quite the diesel fest that bikers are so keen to make out! |
