As you pass the first exit, a car enters in the right hand lane and intends to go straight through or to his second exit. As you exit the round about it's possible, if the other driver is not paying attention that he can collide with the side of your car.
I have to take the third exit at a specific round about, about twice a week. It seems that there is always someone entering at my second exit in the right hand lane. I am always looking at my mirror and have my right directional on well before the exit.
Like I said, you can both be following the rules but a collision can happen if you're not paying attention.

They are in the wrong, as they didn't yield to cars in the roundabout. They aren't actually following the rules.
