And mini-roundabouts are there to be ignored or so 75% of the population seem to think.
Well every bugger seems to ignore the one on the road that exits our estate, when they see it, they speed up to try to get there first, even when someone else is already on it.

Put me in the 75% Coffs. There's a "paintabout" in Caddington that doesn't actually have any exits - it's a straight road with a white painted circle in the middle. When the local parrish realised everyone was ignoring it they painted the tarmac red about thirty yards in each direction.
It can't be long before the speed bumps arrive.

In very cold weather and snow our paintabout becomes a slideabout, as the road from our estate is on a steepish hill and unless you take it very very slowly you just ain't going to stop at the roundabout, traffic coming from the right on what is effectively the main road are also coming down a hill, usually at speed ignoring all the road conditions, it's just a mtter of time before someone is kileld in icy weather.
Obviously Taxis & bus Drivers are the worst offenders and it just a matter of time before I am tempted into a spot of road rage when I am trying to turn right into our estate and some bugger cuts me up beacuse he can't understand roundabout and give way signs which start well before the blot on the road.
At the moment I'm contenting myself with shouting fookwit out of the window at them. They usually hear it. I'm secretly hoping one turns around and follows me, then I can apply the steering wheel lock device to experimental facial/brain surgery techniques. :humb:

Painted rounded-abouts? Stupid idea. There's nothing to go round for a start.
Coffers, those steering locks need to be used for something. They only deter the none professionals anyway.

I know, the wife likes them as a visible form of deterant even though there is an imbiliser fitted anyway. I like it because it's something handy to grab hold of in an emergency, it's not as obvious as a baseball bat. Not that I've ever had an emergency like I'm suggesting and I don't drive through the areas, where that sort of back up might be needed so often these days.

I rub my eyes, but they must be telling me lies, and that's Deej posting and that posting isn't a lie. He's come back, he's come back. I'll say that again. Deej has come back, hes come back. Unfortunately not many of you might know what I'm using, as that's an Urthboy track called We Get Around. Cracking track too. Hi Deej ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

That'll be the last few minutes for a while then. See, your avatar is surprised to see us. Nice to see you pop up again too. Here's that Urthboy track I was messing with before, Youtube it is then.

"Good Luck Poems Fantastic low prices here. Feed your passion on ebay.com."
That's handy, I was just thinking this morning that we're running short on good luck poems and wondering where I could find some more.

I'm offered the chance in the lifetime opportunity to "Read Reviews from Real People". Which is fantastic as I'm used to reading reviews by Gandalf and Cpt Jack Sparrow.
