Not very clever on a busy road, but well done!

Got to love the Dutch language though - some of the comments are almost english: -

Wat een absolute klootviool.

i've often wanted to try that

That is the sort of thing you try on a well lit wet roundabout in the early hours of the morning when no one is around. Not at a busy roundabout during the day... officer.

Cheers

^a few years back the modified car scene in greenock decided that to reduce any trouble with police etc, they would have meetings in Halfords car park, and work with the police. was a very good idea and worked well, except they asked the police if the bull ring roundabout (on the main road, with tescos on it etc) could be used for drifting. the police politely declined...

I spent six years living in germany and roundabouts are very rare,I only came across two one in Achen and the other in Monchengladbach...........In Holland the roundabouts !well you just drive onto them and its upto the cars on the roundabout to give way to the cars coming on!!!!

In most cases this ain't the truth anymore.
These days the cars on the roundabout must be giving way. So you could try this in Holland, but i wouldn't prefer to do it
