i don't understand how they leak that much oil either people must just be really thick and like put 3 gallons in per week or something Shocked

Got to be a very major leak to cover the entire length of small duel carriage way. recon they just keep following it till they find teh broken down truck/car Laughing

They started soaking up oil and diesel residue everywhere this weekend, don't know why. They put down some sort of gravel and I asked them what they were doing and they said it is to soak up oil and diesel spills. I was happy, even though I nearly lost grip on this gravel anyway. Confused

I too have seen allot of granules and the like soaking up the slippy stuff, mostly on roundabouts, but the stuff I have seen on the straight bits of road have been accompanied by flowers.

I wonder if its anything to do with the Kill Spills rally, i.e. 'but we are cleaning the spills up you silly bikers, now get back in your holes'.

McJam, I suspect the same, after the Kill Spills rally, nothing else will happen. Rolling Eyes

Maybe we can kick up a fuss and ensure they continue to do it. Smile
