Crikey - I'm going round roundabouts at ridiculous speeds in my Wedge - 40 mph or more and have to brake for the speed limit the other side - and that is turning right! And this is after breaking to enter said roundabout! I haven't got it unstuck yet so it must be due to the stiff race set-up the car has got. I daren't push it any further cos I'll just get dizzy and need a 'G' suit, and I have a sneaky feeling that when it breaks it'll do so big time!

What'll yours do mister?

Could this be the start of a new sport? - The Magic Roundabout Game!

Let me know B19 if that is going straight on or turning right!

Well the one I'm talking about is a standard roundabout with kerbs and proper greenery in the middle. I think it is about 15 - 20m diameter - must look again to check size. This is a slow down to check for traffic coming from village to right and then boot it round to exit to the right and then brake hard for 30 mph speed limit. It is I think a bit more than a 90 degree right turn.

Last chance to check speed before making sure get right exit and it seems to be over 40 mph. Get the wrong exit and you're straight in to the local crematorium!
