Sorry, but you're wrong.

While they were definitely faster, just letting off the accelerator would not have let him get far enough ahead to turn safely in front of me...and avoid an accident.

And yes, of course I braked enough to make sure he could cut across in front of me.

I was responding to the person who stated to never let anyone get next to you in a roundabout and how that's not always practical...especially if other vehicles are behind you.
