Big diesel slick on Kent Tce outside our shop (5 July)

[Crasherfromwayback]

Be very careful when coming from Courtenay Place on to Kent Tce. Big diesel slick from some dirty bus/truck/car all the way round the cnr and down the road.

Will see if I can get some action from the council or someone.

text dung to motnz :shutup:

Don't forget the coffee as the slide in for parts.

Glad I'm not heading over there, not now anyhow. Already had a white line moment this morning, don't fancy a diesel dip.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Rang the council and told them to sort it asap. Be intereting to see if they do.

[rickstv]

You should time them from time of phone call to the time they show up.

Interesting that the council wanted to act on it. I rang the Auckland Council to ask about getting some dangerous gravel swept up and they had to refer it to Auckland Transport. Still haven't heard back from them for a week.

3/4 of an hour.

If you want to sweep up gravel on a 100km/h road on a sweeping bend where people constantly cross the centre line, be my guest.

While some people do seem to love going past the shop at that speed, it's actually a 50kph speed limit on Kent Tce. Edit: Oh...sorry...you talking 'bout your spill!

You didnt mention that it was a busy road, I wonder if the gravel might be clued down if it didnt move naturally from such a busy road ?
either that or it wasnt really that important to you, will and a way and all :laugh:

[caseye]

Given that one could find a broom the alternative for an unaware approaching biker is rather dire,same for a novice car driver who's never been on gravel at speed in a corner, I'd do it.
You have eyes and EARS and quite seriously these days our own safety is literally in our own hands, so given that there was a broom available yes I'd give it a go. Least I'd do is advise the relevant Local Council/AA/Police.
The more often this does happen the quicker this sort of thing will be sorted by those who should have made it right in the first place, make them! responsible.

It's in a turning bay, and not many people turn down the road, but people cut into the bay all the time to speed up around the bend. But I get what you're saying, I might try tidy it up myself this weekend if I get around to it, and if AT haven't replied by then.

But anyway, off topic.

Good luck with getting the spill cleared up! :)

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't normally carry a broom with me when I ride my motorcycle. That's more of a witch thing.

[caseye]

LOL, stop it or I'll cast a spill on ya!

[Quasievil]

That's more of a witch thing.

Easy solution we need a KB girly ride, quite a few of them are Witches .............just saying

WCC take these types of complaints very seriously. After they have copped the blame from a few coronial inquest outcomes resulting in death.

I've called them a few times about surface hazards and they are bloody good to deal with - In fact better that MOTO NZ :eek:

[MIXONE]

The road was slippery enough tonight without fucking deseasil spills!
