John, driving on a road full with oil is not a good idea

 

One of the many things you can use oil for is as a lubricant. So if there is a leak in a truck filled with this lubricant, it is advisable to clean up the oil and only then continue driving. Again because of the lubricant properties of oil. But yes, sometimes you have those people who have no patience. They come to the conclusion in a different way that waiting would have been a better option.
