Interestingly, (certainly at Swindon) if you look at an aerial photo you see that you can actually go the 'wrong way' round the roundabout 
Dom I was born in Swindon
explains alot that robbo (joking mate )
tbh, i dont know why they did that? surely a set of traffic lights would have been easier?
Well Swindon's roads were used as an experiment for roundabouts, theres nearly as many as in MK
 
but MK have is solved, loads of roundabouts and 70mph dual carriage ways....makes for great driving none of this, having to think about what the fook you do
Mk is the nuts for driving!

Roundabouts are ace They are resurfacing alot of them now too so its even better as the new tarmac is grippy as fuck!

i like mk for driving....come off a roundabout, punt it down the dual carriageway, break, around the other roundabout, punt it again 
only problem i dont like is the fact that i get lost dead easily everywhere looks the same to me
