Sorry about the links - they worked when I used them yesterday (and insanity has posted the new link now). I just 'drove' it using StreetView and didn't even notice it. Had to turn round and go back to find it! How on earth did that get past any safety review? Agreed, but so many do :evil: In the sa...

There's a crossing there, an uncontrolled one: https://goo.gl/maps/32j1hCqG5KB2 It's 80m away at this point, and you are travelling a the appropriate speed for the dual carriageway, not slowing before the off-slip so as to not invite a heavy (or indeed any vehicle) up your tail.

Because with mini-roundabouts you don't have to look both ways perhaps ? Before driving across the top of the rondel .

I disagree. The question that needs to be addressed is: Will the UK electorate continue to be sufficiently engaged with the political process to badger their MPs into stopping the bickering and getting on with the job of negotiating the best terms possible (which will not be the ones initially offer...
