Garden hose across public road

[Jakg]

A couple of times on a road near me I've seen a garden hose run across the road, just lying on the road, not in those rubber bumpers or anything.

I think it's stupid - the twin wheel van in front of me lifted it off the ground, and I'm not sure I'd want to ride over it on a motorcycle.

I'm not sure who's it is, as it runs along the edge of some houses / a field on both sides.

I'm not sure if it'd be something for the police, either - I would've thought highways, but it's often gone a couple of hours later so they'd never see it.

It's a regular country road, not some farm track:

Can't see it mate.

Could you edit the picture to show the hose?

Thats quite a thick hose. Could you edit it so it's more to the correct scale?

Also if it's been driven over it probably has some dirt marks, they need putting on too. And it's probably kinked a little.

Best laugh for a while.....

So you aren't Evel Knievel then?

I used to see this regularly near me - houses one side of the road, gardens (more veg patches really) the other. Wasn't ever an issue for me, whether using car / bike / pushbike. It never occured to me that it would bother anyone.
Never as thick as the hose in the photo to be fair.

They’re just footprints. Doh!

Does the house on the right have horses in the field on the left?

Why are you even bothering about this? What has it got to do with you?

Good point, they’re probably using it for washing their horses

Makes a terrible mess trying to give them a shower in the house.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant :-)

To be honest, it's more the racket they make on the stairs

I got garden hose in different area codes.
