... on a motorway sliproad.

Going round a left hand corner in the left lane with no-one else about, I noticed a wet-looking patch in the road. Just as I was thinking "that could be water... or oil..." the car did at least a 360. There was no screaching of tyres, just a sliding noise as I prepared for a bang. When I stopped I was pointing in roughly the same direction, in the same lane. I had clutched, so I engaged first and drove a little further before stopping on the hard shoulder. The smell of diesel was very strong inside the car, and even when I got home the wheel-arches still smelled of diesel.

Expect the unexpected!

Well, some "fuel" obviously "surged" onto the carriageway.

Happy, Kenny?

... I was only doing about 30. I don't think "the twisties" (R) argument can be aplied when someone spills diesel on the road.

And there was me thinking someone reckoned they had "done" a Ferrari 360

I tried that too the other week although it should read, 'A 360 done me!'

You should have phoned th police and reported it - may have saved the next bloke looking down wondering "is that water or oi..shiiiiiiiiiiiit"

...I did. They said they would send out an emergency team. It was just like ice.
