True, but the same problem will happen with the lights. If a driver sees or thinks he sees the light change he'll floor it. And UNLIKE a lollipop (which can be lowered again and the driver will..hopefully but often does not...stop) the traffic lghts can't be switched back to red. (Unless of course that is the supposed change, they've made the system semi-automatic, there's a deadmans handle type device or something)SpookTheHamster wrote:There is quite a bit wrong with lollipops, drivers don't pay attention.

AFAIK it stops the lights changing - it will be a microswitch or something that doesn't release the light until the hose is 100% clear.Kester wrote:As said previously there is apparently some system in place which prevents the car leaving whilst the fuel hose is attached.

I'm fully aware of whats been said before, but I'm not reffering to just the fuel hose, what about if there is a problem with fitting a wheel? What reduncancy system does this have in place for a circumstance like that?Kester wrote:As said previously there is apparently some system in place which prevents the car leaving whilst the fuel hose is attached.
