Road Spray

Been wondering about this for a while now. There seems to be much more
spray generated by vehicles these days than I remember as a kid.

1) Is this the case, or am I imagining things
2) If so, what's the cause. I'm thinking tyres are better at dispersing
water now?

You weren't driving/riding as a kid.

 

Hmm, true.

Wider?

 

If it was any wider, I'd need a pair of slippers to fill the gaps.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Catman belched forth and ejected the following:

If tyres disperse water better now then that's why there's more spray;
'cos there's less on the road and being thrown in the air, innit.

I didn't think it was any worse than any other time, tbh.

 

It might be that he's not cleaning his visor as often these days, or
there is more 'salty shit' on the roads now meaning more messy white
bits.

 

It's cos no fucker puts mudflaps on their cars.
