CDG Dodgy Drainage?
Just been told that this is the 4th time in 11 months that someone has gone off the side on a taxiway in CDG?
Seems a lot if its true! Surely if its that much there could possibly be a drainage problem causing this sort of thing?

Some of the taxiways have a 3% grade. That could be it. I remember some Jeppesen charts have warnings to mind the grade as rolling back into the runway is a hazard when exiting. Or the pilot may have well just exited the runway too fast for the conditions.
