That assumes that no one is occupying the right lane.....I read it that the OP was entering at 6 oclock. He should have yielded.

How else would someone coming from 12 oclock exit at 3 oclock if they DIDNT execute a lane change on the curve??
NEVER change lanes in a roundabout.

You DO NOT need to execute a lane change between 6 oclock and 3 oclock to exit the roundabout, you just need to enter in the left lane and exit in the left lane.
