Choose your lane:

Approaching a two lane roundabout, make a lane choice
according to the following rules:
• If you intend to exit the roundabout more than halfway
around, use the LEFT-HAND lane.
• If you intend to exit the roundabout less than halfway
around, use the RIGHT-HAND lane.
• If you intend to continue straight through, use either
lane unless signs or markings indicate otherwise.

If I were the cop working a roundabout accident, I think the outside lane driver going to the third exit would get an "Improper Lane Usage" ticket.
Improper lane and not yielding. Fact, know two people who got tickets. One even got hit in the left rear quarter panel in van and she still got the ticket even though she was ahead of car in left lane exiting right.
