WARNING

Whoever is responsible we as bikers should challenge them in my opinion? If we stopped turning a blind eye the message might get through eventually.

Agreed. Any issues I come across as I'm driving I report to the Council on their "CLARENCE" system, adding that its especially dangerous to motorcyclists and explain why. You can do it here:

Lorry drivers that overfill their tanks should be hung as well

I agree there should be a law against it. It is a right hassle riding in the wet trying spot deisel. :P :P

My grammar is getting worse by the day.

'trying TO spot THE deisel'

It's diesel ;)

Thanks for that Graeme I will use that site in future. Always worth checking to see if road has been cleared later.

I'm surprised no ones crashed a car there yet let alone skidded off on two wheels :o :o >:(

I did some work near there and you're right. They employ a full time road sweeper to clean the site but not the main road.
Cocklebury road in Chippenham is in the same state. Trouble is everyone passes the buck as they are all sub contracted to the job.
Unfortunately the buck stops with me so I clear up my own and everyone else's mess.
Shame farmers aren't as conscientious.

"However if you were in said situation. Ride at walking speed or take a risk, then I'm sure you would agree that it is a choice? Not a brilliant choice I agree, but nevertheless a choice."

According to official statistics motorcyclists are 25 times more likely to be involved in an accident than motorists.

Of course we should assess the risks at all times with the aim of lowering these unacceptable odds, I would suggest however, that a biker who chooses to ride at ‘walking speed’ to lower the risk should give some careful consideration as to whether or not a motorcycle is the right mode of transport for him/her.


Canal boat? :P :D ;) ;D
