More, I would think.

It's a bit special, that one.  The main road goes round the roundabout and 
exits to the right - about 250 degrees?  It's three lanes wide, with a straight 
approach, but the killer is a _major_ camber change halfway round.  I guess 
Steve Weeks will join in from the digest soon - he goes round it about every 
day.  But Paul just can't hold the back end on the camber switch.  I've always 
_assumed_ it was the bushes.

The sport is enlivened by the habit some police patrols have of sitting in the 
gas station next to the island.  Yup - they eat doughnuts here, too.
