Default National Day BUGGER

Had a great time at national day, then getting on M6 at jnc 15 heading north somebody had put a load of grit on the road right on the bend. Not a good combination with the bad weater!!

Yea ok just shaken up abit and my missus twisted her ankle, could easily have slid onto motorway or hit someone else! There was a proper grumpy git who said it was our own fault for driving like that, I wouldn't mind but was only doing 30!!

Grit and sand is usually put down on highways to soak up a fuel spillage.

As soon as I saw it I backed off.

Hope it gets back ok
