One car with Driver A was in the inner loop of the roundabout and the other car with Driver B was in the outer loop.

I noticed that Driver B was going slower than I expected, but Driver A was not trying to overtake him. In fact, Driver A stayed a little behind Driver B.

Then Driver B suddenly cut right in front of Driver A, probably because he wanted to turn into Soaring Eagle. Driver A stopped and Driver B missed him by about a foot.

Then Driver A proceeded going north on Morse. I doubt Driver B even knew he almost got t-boned and he would have been totally at fault.

I applaud Driver A for preventing an accident. Maybe he could sense that Driver B did not know what he was doing, so Driver A had the sense to hold back just in case Driver B did something very stupid. I hope I can be that smart when I grow up.
Actually you can be, and it's easy. Just never ride side by side with anyone in a RB. Problem solved.
That scenario, of an idiot in the outer lane going 270 degrees around to the third exit happens every day.
In fact, there was a thread about 3-4 weeks ago when a poster stated that he always goes to the third exit in the outer lane because HE thinks it is safer. You should definitely watch out for this moron.
