Yeah, you did very good to avoid an accident. I never go thru a roundabout in the inside lane because I am afraid someone in the outside lane will do exactly what the trucks did to you.

Of course, when I have to go 3/4 of the way around a roundabout to exit, I watch the other drivers closely and, if I suspect they might cut me off, I blow my horn and keep blowing it until I have exited safely. In fact, that happens a lot to me, including yesterday.
