In extreme cases, the yellowing can extend to the crown of the road, giving a single yellow line in the middle. Once this happens, delivery vans &amp; taxi's park there all day &amp; the road is completely Gummed up.<br /> The local Authorities have been doing more fillings, but with the onset of winter, it is likely that more cavities will occur &amp; False kerbs may have to be fitted.<br /> The virus is thought to be a new strain of the Vandemic "<em>Vehiculum Frustratum</em>"<br /> and can be prevented by regular brushing and the use of "Roadwash" </p>
