I abide by the rules and stay in the outside lane if I'm going to leave the RAB at my first or second exit (right turn or going straight ahead). I approach the RAB in the left lane if I plan to leave the RAB at my second (going straight ahead) or third exit (left turn).
Question.....which lane should one be in if they are going all the way around for a U turn? (Have only had to do that once). I guess one should be in the inside lane of the RAB, right?

Good post. The roundabouts work if everyone obeys the rules of the road. If people make up their own rules, say go 3/4 around in the outside lane, they muck it up and cause accidents for the rest of us.
