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.
