Roundabouts are a piece of piss...though I must admit that one looks pretty nasty

Roundabouts are safe....apart from the occasional idiots who are tired and don't notice the BIG SIGNS and drive straight over them.....but they're idiots..
I've just noticed how insane that roundabout system in the picture actually is - on most uk roundabouts you go round clockwise - makes sense...
Cept the way that one is laid out you end up going round the middle anti-clockwise....erk....I wanna find it!

Thought you might be interested in this - one of my friends has been on that roundabout system and pointed me to this:

hahaha they get stuck for hours going in circles. Good stuff. 
If I drove up on that, I would have to pull over and plan out a route before driving into it.  It would probably require a calculator.
