Could be another establishment plot - has anyone seen Fergie?

IF it happened like that then this black salty wet shiny slippery stuff that you get if they salt the road and it stays damp without rain is more leathal than it looks!!

but the embankment can be 4 - 6 lanes wide in total in places and has loads of areas with bad surface, plenty of man-hole covers and diesel from commercial vehicles etc, so loss of grip under acceleration wouldn't be too difficult, particularly if said driver was trying to "squirt" past a slow moving truck or bus .......

I'd have thought that - but OTOH it's Chirstmas and lots of us are away from their computers.

Whatever it was, hopefully anyone involved will be OK...

How on earth can you say something as stupid as that, you do not know what caused it........
