Diesel on the road
At least they are only delaying themselves and not creating crash hazards
for cyclists. "Commuters are facing frustration on their way to work with delays of up to three hours. An accident on the M25 has led to long tailbacks on the northbound carriage with delays stretching all the way from Reigate to Orpington. Two-hour delays are also being reported on the M23 London bound between junction nine at Gatwick Airport and junction 7 at the Hooley Interchange because of the problems on the M25. The M25 at junction 8 is likely to stay closed for most of the morning to clear up spilled diesel and carriageway repairs." http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/93365...M23_a nd_M25/ -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/ |

I suppose the diesel will be a highly effective solvent for the bitumen so it will have to be skimmed and replaced. -- Simon Mason |

Are there cyclists involved? -- Simple Simon Mason - who cycles at 25mph in 20mph limits just because the limits do not apply to cyclists. This includes exceeding the speed limit past three schools. A total disregard for the well-being of vulnerable road users. The actions of a true psycholist. |

You wouldn't be making the same mistake as the cheerless prat by any chance i.e. doing the one therefore all fallacy. |
