stone chips covered in melted tar on the way to New Plymouth today.arghhhhh!
do they have to work on sealing both lanes at the same time so that there's no way to avoid driving through this!it was the equivilant of a bloodbath to someone who likes their car a bit. sounded like i was behing machine gunned, even at 30kph. and then. the gawd awful screeching noise for miles as stones obviously jammed somewhere.probably grinding my brakes up.who knows. still got one stuck here in New Plymouth.damned if i know where it is.
rant over.

Be thankful your not charged with theft of roading material. Think you should take all the stones and tar back.

Been caught in that situation before and it fills up all sorts of places under your vehicle with clumps of tarred stones,they fall out for days afterwards to and some stay jammed in their little hiding places until dug out when under the car next GGrrrr.
