Mud on roads

[changilass]

How many brain cells are required to work out that, after the awful weather we have had of late, the first sign of good weather means that the farmers can get on with their job. This means there will be mud on the road.

I don't need a sign to tell me that, its just common sense - which seems mighty lacking in some.

And during the job they should have warning signs out, on completion they should be cleaning the road.Simples everyone's a winner

so , now your questioning the intelligence of the folks on this forum . (How many brain cells are required to work out that,)
and your telling us that, say , on a trip anywhere between Land s End and John O Groats the motorist should expect to encounter mud on the roads anywhere on that journey at the first sign of good weather??? just becouse farmers are out making hay and money.

P/S ,,afterthought. that aughta do the tourist industry a power of good.????

Wow changilass .... someone should tell the roads department they don't need any road signs, and traffic lights, chips on the road signs, oil on road signs, land slip signs, men at work signs, flooding ahead signs, flashing light signs, pelican crossing signs, school signs, the list goes on, "O" and tell the police they to no longer have to escort large or wide loads with there flashing blue lights. and when you've crashed because of the lack of signs they don't need there flashing blue lights or accident ahead signs. because YOU'VE got common sense.

WAKE UP.


I repeat its dark put a sign up, just one little sign.....PLEASE.....PLEASE.....PLEASE

You know it speaks volumes that you need to be insulting to try and get your point across.

What about blind corners? What about driving at night? What about single track roads where you may be required to brake suddenly because some idiot doesn't realise what a passing place is for?

If you'd read all the posts here you'd realise that the NFU's own guidelines state that farmers should (amongst other things):

a) prevent fouling public roads where possible
b) clean up after themselves
c) make other road users aware

Can you give me a reason why these guidelines shouldn't apply to Caithness farmers?

I really don't think it's expecting too much to be able to drive on roads which are safe, or at the very least be notified where there are hazzards.
