I only passed my driving licence for about 1 years and OMG these roundabout is like a maze.
I was driving around Hemel Hempstead to my friends place and I just bumped into the nightmare roundabout.
It took me about 3 mins to find the exit that I what'd to go to.
so if you on holiday in UK and driving, try and avoid these roundabout.
