Just be alert...as usual.

I understand very well that when making a left turn, you must be in the inside lane to make your exit out of the RAB. I do that 100% of the time when I am preparing to make a left turn.
However, having said that..... anyone in the outside lane (even if they are not supposed to be in the outside lane depending where they entered the RAB) still has right of way to anyone entering the RAB. Isn't that correct? Should someone entering the RAB cut off someone already in the RAB and driving in the outside lane? The person who is entering the RAB is supposed to wait until the RAB is clear of any cars and yield to any car already in the RAB. Isn't that correct?
Hubby and I recently saw a near miss when someone came barreling into the RAB when a car was driving in the outside lane. I know some people like to time it to the Nth degree and scoot in to the RAB but.....sometimes timing is off. That is when accidents happen. I wish folks wouldn't time it so closely when entering a RAB. Enter when the coast is clear.
