    WORST ROUNDABOUT IN THE WORLD AWARD
    Here's my nomination. It's so badly designed I know drivers who take a detour to avoid it. Okay, maybe not absolutely the worst, but it's got to be worth a podium position.

    That's cheating crispey. Read the rules. No multiple entries.

    Rules are no obscure entries. You gotta show it.

    I've been round the magic roundabout several times, the first time is terrifying because you have cars that look like they're coming towards you. Once you get used to it it's just scary!

    Thankfully I no longer have to visit that part of the world.

    Here is Colchester's pride and joy. Works well if you know what you are doing, otherwise it is terrifying.

    Here is my local nightmare, for some reason, driving instructors love taking their students on here, every junction has a traffic light and the surface is always deteriorating - the roads on the moon are smoother!

    Although at this roundabout it seems a lorry has taken a direct shortcut - it is in London at the junction with Lambeth Bridge

    I'd throw in any in the States, mostly because few of us yanks have a clue how to use them. I learned very quickly when I spent a month riding in the UK two years ago!

    Several times I entered the round about by the Arch d Triumph in Paris on a Friday afternoon at rush hour. Talk about bedlam.
