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.

The exact same thing happened to me yesterday, and it was just a coincidence. I was heading into the roundabout, waited for someone who was already in it to pass my entry. And then I got in, from the inside lane, into the inside lane. And that guy who was ahead of me slowed down, but he had already passed the first exit and I was heading through (straight). Since he was already ahead of me when I came into the roundabout, I slowed down "just in case." Thankfully it was the right thing to do, because he kept going to the third exit (left), basically making what would have been a U-turn, to him, and a third exit, to me.
He just completely cut me off. I almost hit him but again - I had slowed down as well and was still behind him in the inside lane when he continued in the outer lane for his "fourth" exit (his u-turn).
