BBC Reports On Dangers of Fuel Spills On Island Roads
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/...615115.stm

I've whinged about this subject before, but make no apologies for reintroducing it. Any of you that have been victims of such a spillage will understand my concerns.

Many of the buses and coaches spill copious amounts of diesel. Have a look at the tarmac in the bus park at CRHS on any damp school day, for example. I was told by someone at the Vehicle Testing Centre that if you report the registration of an offending vehicle they will have it called in for testing.

This is going on all the time and may have been responsible for countless crashes, possibly deaths, throughout the year and not just at TT.

It is not just a hazard to bikers and cyclists, and can cause any vehicle to skid dangerously.

Play "Spot the Spiller" by getting some "guilty" registrations reported. You could save lives.
