A lot of people complain about bends just before roundabouts, not just here but all over the country, reason there are bends there is to stop people from exiting the roundabout and ending up going the wrong way down a dual carrageway, therefore they would be a lot more dangerous if the bends were not there, if people read the road signs and road early enough and look a good distance ahead instead of just over the bonnet there shouldn't be a problem.

Spaced 'em wrong !!!! So don't move the lamposts, lets think about the speed limit ??... am crying with laughter so much think might electrocute myself on me keyboard.
Understand perfectly re. bends coming up to roundabouts, just that this stretch of road seems to have more than its fair share of accidents (have no stastitics to hand though you understand). Only wondered if it were the 'national speed limit' that caused it. Go along twice a day and no problems myself, but I am aware that could be a little short for picking up speed, and then having to break quickly. Always accidents with lack of concentrating, not observant of signs,etc., all over the country. I care about the people who travel on my patch every day and if it is this, then will try and do summat about it.
