The number of numpties that don't even know how to use one roundabout at a time, scares me enough let alone that!! :roll:

I've been round the "magic roundabout" (it's actual name) last year when I was working in Swindon for a week or so.

First time round, you'd crap it - but with familiarity, it'd be fine. There is a double one in Ayr that, frankly, works....

I think all the troops from Edinburgh will remember when they tried something slightly similar in George Street.......... Totally and utterly f**ked it up! Royally.......

Then switched it all back again cos it was so sh*t..... Glad they used our tax money for such great things like that (and speedbumps!).
