STAY SAFE WITH MY JOCKEY SHORTS

Every town should have a ‘magic roundabout’ like the one at Hemel Hempstead. Then there’d be fewer strangers creating carnage.

I was down there this morning, after rush-hour, on my way to the town centre when some maniac virtually slid sideways across two of the mini-roundabouts, as if he was in a dodgem.

Fortunately, I was nowhere near the twat.

So here’s another good reason to start a log: to educate those buggers who put the rest of us at risk. This is the first of Jack’s Official Crucial Key Educational Yardsticks.

Or JOCKEY, if you prefer. I’ll try to keep them snappy, in which case they will be known as JOCKEY SHORTS.

Now, for those who don’t know, Hemel’s ‘magic roundabout’ consists of one gi-normous central roundabout with a mini roundabout at each of the roads adjoining it.

A driver is permitted to go round the gi-normous roundabout either way, left or right, to reach his ultimate destination. But he MUST use each mini roundabout in the usual, proper manner. Go left and give way to traffic from the right.

Simple.
