What is the law regarding people who trail extension leads across the road to clean their cars?

Question

i often see this where i live, on a through road with plenty of traffic. surely, it could potentially be quite dangerous should the cable flip up or get wrapped around someones wheels?

Answer 1

There is nothing in the driver's handbook about such a situation...But I am sure there is something in the local municipal laws that address this issue...Check with your city or town police agency.

Answer 2

I have never heard of this but I would suggest that you get their license plate number and call the police at once for every-ones safety..

Answer 3

I know of no laws concerning this,  and a car driving over an extension cord at slow speed won't cause any problem.
