Seriously though  if there is diesel on the road why not close it and light the suff till it burns off...?

Diesel spillage is a thing that's been around for ages really, ask any one who fills up in a haulage yard before h & s get in there around bunkered fuel

One of the most common causes is when a lot of truck didn't have lock caps on the tanks, and either they forget to put the cap on after refuelling, or someone removes the cap to take some fuel out

Once a wagon goes round the corner it can dump a couple of gallons+ easily especially on a roundabout, not very nice of a car is along side it at the same time :twisted:

Clean up is something that has to be done by professionals, some local councils have the capability to deal with minor spills, but I believe the Fire Brigade deal with quite a few nowadays

But as what caused this type of skating rink, the more its talked about the worse it could become, a lot of these people have no regard for others anyway, and I can see them doing this sort of thing just for kicks

A couple of months ago I was on a large roundabout near me, I saw some 10 year olds hovering round on the edge of the roundabout, on a dual carriage way, under some overhanging trees, they were waiting for vehicles to pull off from the lights and then throwing stones at the windows, their favourite target was buses, and got one while I was waiting at the lights, could not pull over anywhere at the time but managed to alert a local plod further up the road to what was happening, the little burggers were disappearing over a bank in the trees and hiding


Just an afterthought, cars on diesel slides are bad, add rain and imagine a 40 footer's trailer fully loaded catching the slippery bit, gets a little bit more than slipping into a ditch, one 30+ tonnes lump with no steering going sideways and no braking capability :shock:

it has been all over the news here in lincoln about it as it is becoming that much of a trend to try drifting and as you say they have there play then disappear not thinking about all the diesel they are leaving on the road for some poor drive just to be a little to quick

Is the bread buttered with Lurpak slightly salted?.........

the boy racers round here have been doing it for ages

every Wednesday night they do it,the thing that really annoys me is a few miles down the road there is a cafe where on the same night there is a bike meet,no one mucks around,just park up,catch up with people and leave and there are police every where :x

yet the boy racers putting diesel down on the round about and mucking around,drifting they seem to do nothing about unless a biker goes down there with out knowing,comes off and then they turn up even tho loads of people tell them whats going on [-X [-X

its just plain mad :'( :'( :'(
