We had a driver the other week who went round a roundabout the wrong way, a load of phone calls followed including one from the parents of the children who was in the car with him at the time.

There used to be a roundabout in Grantham at the station approach. many a time I have was going around it the right was only to be met by an articulated lorry carrying steel coming the wrong way because they couldn't go the right way.

No left turn towards melton at the junction so you have to go round the block.
