ive been told that you just treat each roundabout as a single roundabout and dont worry about the big one overall....eitherway, both places are shitholes, so im never gonna go there

Interestingly, (certainly at Swindon) if you look at an aerial photo you see that you can actually go the 'wrong way' round the roundabout

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

If you learn't to drive there, you'd be taught how to use the roundabout. It doesn't look that hard anyway.

The bottom pic is the same place as the top pic.
Hemel's roundabout is a piece of piss if you know how to drive. That Swindon one looks daunting, but i bet once ur on, its just as simple as any other.
