Apparently there was a 30km diesel spill up SH1 on Thursday. In the rain too. Just as well Mrs H and I had decided to ride up the other coast!

When is somebody going to get prosecuted for spilling diesel? Surely it can't be that hard to keep it securely stored in moving motor vehicles?

[Kendog]

You'd think aye!!

At the price of it you would think that there would be a serious motivation to avoid spilling the damn stuff...

And why is it always diesel?
