Not every road is made out of tarmac, and even if it is, the sides still have tiny cracks water can flow through.

I disagree with disallowing washing your car on the street, but I see why they (want to) do so.

Not where I come from. We don't have cracks in our curbs and the street is on a slight embankment. We have plenty of drains in the street and at the bottom of it.

If petrol stations are so concerned about our environment, they can stop selling petrol
