Just supose you clear yuor driveway with hot water and it then

Easy enough to spot ice while you're walking.

what about while driving have you heard of black ice.

Yes, it's visible as a shiny surface.

So why do they issue specail warning about it if yuo can see it.

And just what sped do you drive on your driveway?

Speed is irrelivant resistance is futile ask Anton Yelchin, oh you can't.



We has a similar siruation here where there was a cut through
walkway and an old lady tripped over a raised paving slab the
college was balamed as it didn;t maintain the pavement,

How stupid. There's plenty things to trip on around here, but
people look where they're going.

She was quite old 70+ with a stick from what I heard at the time but
the college wanted iot kept quite for some reason the women was in
hospital for a few days she hit her head/face on the concrete.

That's called an ACCIDENT.

Waiting to happen they;d ignored reports of the unlevel surface.


but the college said this was not a right of way and the genral
public shouldn;t be walking there. So that shows you how much it
cares about staff and studetns , so they put a no access notice in
the area.

If the old lady wasn't a student, the college were correct.

So should have blocked it off then but they didn't.

No. They shouldn't have to tell people not to walk across their land.

There was no sign at the time one appearded later though.


It's a bit like woning a bridge if it;s faulty yuo should put a
notice up or stop people using it or at least make some attempt.

********. People should look out for themselves and stop expecting to
be treated like children.

The why worry about car speeds or even keeping your car in good repair
tough luck if you crash, yeah like that makes sense. You have to have
reasonably flat surfaces to walk or drive on otherwise, I;d say tough
**** for those that drive in potholes and damaged their car, don't drive
on pot holes it's really simple.

Without streetlights on a wet road, they can be impossible to see.
