I was wondering... How do gritting lorries get grip? Almost by default, they are travelling along roads which need grit or salt and (this is the daft bit) the grit is shed behind them. I envisage a team of two workers, standing on a platform built onto the front of the truck, shovelling grit/salt under the wheels as it goes, much like the sand boxes on steam locos. ;)
