For many in Swindon, the Magic Roundabout is part of the daily commute and nothing more. 

But over the years, the unusual junction has often been the subject of confusion and disbelief when people from outside of town discover its existence.

This almost always provides a great deal of amusement for locals and a viral TikTok video from a driving instructor is certainly no different. 

The TikTok account LingusDrivingSchool who is 'just a helpful UK driving instructor trying to remove misinformation' tackled the Magic Roundabout in a recent video, and his reaction is priceless. 

A follower asked him "Can you do a video about the Magic Roundabout in Swindon? Because I just close my eyes and accelerate."

He said: "You know what, sure, can't be that bad," before bringing up a roadsign warning motorists of the upcoming junction. 

"So I've got the sign here, yeah. I mean it looks like it works the same as a double roundabout, a double-mini roundabout, except there's five of them."

He then confidently plots a route from one exit to another using the sign before he then cuts to a real-life aerial shot of the roundabout itself to plot the same route

But he immediately becomes flustered and confused when confronted with the 'magic' reality of the famous Swindon landmark, and is eventually rendered speechless.

Judging by the comments he received on the video, he wasn't alone though, as several people hysterically mentioned their bemusement at having to navigate their way through it. 

"Here's me moaning about the double roundabout with a zebra crossing by mine. This I'd get lost and just give up haha," one commenter said. 

Another added: "I had to use this roundabout to visit kids I had in Swindon and it was hell on earth, literally shaking and sweating.

One said: "I had to pull off the first roundabout to gather my thoughts then I just went round the outside of all of them to get to the exit I needed."

"Was on my way to boomtown got redirected in the direction of Swindon and had a meltdown in case I had to use this. I did it once and still have nightmares." 

But not everyone was hysterical as one young local explained. 

"As someone from Swindon, it’s not even that difficult. Treat every roundabout as an individual one and you’re sorted."
