Help possibly needed

[Bigdar]

We have a journey to Swindon looming, and I've been advised to avoid 'the magic roundabout'.
Should I avoid it ?
Is it as confusing as I've been told ?
Am I definitely going to crash as I've been lead to believe ?
If so, how do I avoid it ?
Ta muchly in advance.

Ok, that's what I was thinking
Just need to find an alternative route to the oasis leisure centre.

Such a **** Smiffy okerintherectum:

 

[Bigdar]

Please no one mention a male chicken, it is forbidden

 

[Happy Man]

It's not unusual to have a very strict swear filter on a new forum, good luck with the magic roundabout.

 

[Bigdar]

****.
**** it ! It's done it again
There should be a list of forbidden words really.

Anyway, BOT, how do I avoid 'the magic roundabout whilst trying to reach the oasis leisure centre ?

 

[Bigdar]

Even d.a.m.n ?

The magic roundabout is fine just remember right is left and left is right unless you are going anti clockwise when the opposite applies. Obviously if you are going backwards all rules are reversed. Oh and sometime I get confused with left & right and forward and reverse.

Got it?

Well that's the cut down version of how you negotiate the magic roundabout

 

[Bigdar]

We're doomed

Unless I can navigate a route to avoid it.

 

[smiffy]

See ya later Biggy

 

[Bigdar]

Well ..... made it !
I can only imagine that whoever designed 'the magic roundabout' had had a very heavy week on the mushrooms.
And whoever ok'd it, had an even heavier one
Just ridiculous.

 

[lisknik]

Well done mate, i know people that have got stuck on it, and had accidents on it

 

[Bigdar]

I can't say I'm surprised
Why didn't they just put in something like, erm, I don't know, a normal roundabout that would have worked perfectly well ?

 

[lisknik]

Cos Swindon can't do anything normal!!!

 

[conaero]

Agree with you the BD, I did wonder what all the fuss was about, then I actualy went there, its crazy!!!
