I have had to use my bike for work for a few days, today the elements were not kind to me with wind rain and even snow
I was on a familiar dual carriagway and the road was very wet, a slip road approaches onto it from the left, and i could suddenly smell it before i saw it! this was not just a diesel spill from an overfilled tank, this was a constant leak of some sort and i followed it for 3 MILES before i had to turn off!!
Surely the driver of the vehicle would have realised something smelled funny after a short distance

Same thing for me today, not one but two separate spills covering the full width of the road.
