This morning, just on the exit of a roundabout near my house. Don't know how I missed it, seeing that it looked like, and had the size of, a submerged whale. Must have looked like a stunt gone wrong to the cars behind, but thank GOD the bike pulled out straight, along with myself on it, when I entered clean tarmac....Neways....Got me thinking.......

1) Who can you pick up the phone and report this to? Or do the authorities expect the environment and other vehicles going over it, to eventually clean it away?
2) How do lorrys actually spill the diesel? What happens for them to leave all this crap on the roads?

When I got home btw I had to immediately go to the toilet were I was almost overwhelmed by a gargantuan, explosive dump. Honestly me feet were numb afterwards.
Coincidence?

I reported a 3 mile stretch where random puddles of diesel were on the road, no one did anything about it.
Oh and I rang the counsel and police.

I had this happen a week or so ago (posted on here somewhere)...

I reported it to the local council for that area, some have websites where you can report this kind of thing, just google for {insert local council name} highway fault reporting

I sent them one every day until it was cleaned up (took a week Evil or Very Mad)

Hi,

Been really hard to find, but here is the link to report diesel in Merseyside (Should be useful to some of you!)

https://www.liverpool.gov.uk/transport_and_streets/report/

(There was a shocking diesel spill this morning from Speke Boulevard to Crosby)

There should be a mandatory loss of licence for any lorry-driver who spills diesel from his truck. They are fucking murderers.


You should have seen the 20 mile stretch of diesel I was riding over this morning then .

round my my house there is this big island, and there was a massive spillage and becouse the island is on an adverse camper it spreaded all accross the whole width or the Island, i wanter to take the 3rd exit and turn right, i was goin round as normal, looked in my mirror and saw a car going sideways behind me, then looked infront of me and saw i riding on a huge pathc of diesel and shit myself then i felt my back end start to swing out, so i let go of the throttle and grabbed the clutch and tryed to steer out of it, i finally got ym self sorted but then i realised that i was like meters from my exit, so thought fuck it and went home Very Happy lol, but i couldnt belive it, just the amount of diesel on the road was insane, must have been like a tank of on the road, ow yeah and i never looked back again to see what the car had done or where it was lol he probs nailed his breaks like a moppet n crashed or sumfing like that Twisted Evil
