A car in front of me, in lane three, turned right onto this roundabout today.

He, she or it managed 3/4 of a lap the wrong way before we stopped the traffic on the other side and blocked his, her or its progress.

The car paused, then exited onto the correct side of a dual carriageway, straight on from this view, and beetled off.

So, chaps and chapesses, the next time you're doing a Banzai lap of the roundabout, think about what might be coming round to meet you...

I blew a front tyre 100 miles down the M1 after that little episode...

Deep joy...irked




PS...how do you post Google Street View pics here?

I use this roundabout often and find that it is notorious for old bimblers.
How very dare you...? hehe

I've got to admit, from the street view it looks quite a bit like a t-junction albeit a curvy one laugh
In real life, it's nothing like a T junction. It's very much like a roundabout...

Are you sure it wasn't you really? smile
Moi..? I've been driving round it for 47 years, so have no difficulty in identifying it as a roundabout.

Ahhh - that clearly marks yourself out as an old duffer - perhaps you got a little confused biggrin
I left you an opening to exploit the ambiguity of circumnavigating the roundabout for 47 years. Your failure to grasp this and run with it demonstrates mental disorder...

But fear not, I shall summon an ambiwlans for you forthwith...hehe
