Be careful on roads today

[Matty]

Think they are a little bit greasy. Just had a spin narrowly avoiding a white van coming the opposite direction. A merc was planted in the hedge so guessing it wasnt driver error and something on road.

So be careful out there........

The missus has just textd me and said that outside the student union in Leicester a bus has hit a Fiesta and the driver of the Fez is being cut out of her seat, blood everywhere, it sounds gross.

Poor visiblity in flowing heavy traffic, wipers really struggled with the spray this morning.

oh great

the 1 day i let the misses dad use my car and i use his

hes got my clio so someone at his work can have a look over it and see if they may want to buy it and ive got his vectra, not best day to change cars

saw 4 fireengines go passed me earlier, and then saw an ambulance go the wrong way to them and have to do a U turn and go back after them, oops

then loads of grit stuff on 1 side of a roundabout so looks like someone crashed and spilt loads of fuel early this morning

hopefully be ok by time i go home

Terrible stuff - But come on peeps its just another wet drizzley day in england... Its not like a "greasy rain" cloud floated over land in the night and coated the roads... Just take it easy lads, we dont want any more written off motors and injuries... My cup is an absolute pain in the arse but hey...

noone said they were going mad though....

 

[Floodie]

Nothing of maddness was mentioned - The fact people have been "spinning" off etc goes to show people arent driving to the conditions

 

[TheCake]

Ive never seen rain before - honest...

Ive had the arse end of the 172 step out twice in the last 2 days, proper greesey out there at the moment!

Warned mate who comes same way to work in Ibiza Cupra and seems police were art spot it happened at by the time he approached. Seems some kind of spillage on the road whcih wasnt visible in the light when I spun.

So not applicable to all roads but then sometimes you only get the greasiness now and then after the odd shower.

Still dont know how I avoided the white van whilst spinning.
