On the other hand I've seen drivers driving the wrong way round a
mini roundabout when turning right which is asking for trouble.

At some (not so) mini roundabouts that is what you have to do.
Thinking of the "magic roundabouts" near Swindon and Hemelhempstead.
Wonderful creations, spagehti junction is easier to navigate.

There are plenty of other mini roundabouts at what used to be ordinary
T-junctions in Hemel Hempstead, where it is impossible to turn right in
one go without going over or crossing to the wrong side of the
"roundabout", but the "Magic Roundabout" certainly isn't one of them. It
is perfectly feasible to keep to the correct side of each and every mini
roundabout in the system when negotiating it.


In a HGV ?


Richard has already covered the exemption for large vehicles in his
previous post, but since you ask, the only one out of the series that
seems to be at all tight for _LGVs_ is the Two Waters Road junction, but
even that doesn't require an artic driver to cross completely to the
wrong side unless he's particularly unskilled or lazy.
