I might be wrong, but where I come from I was "cut off"
If you were in the right hand lane "continuing" around the roundabout, you were in the wrong lane. To continue around the roundabout, you should have entered and stayed in the left lane, as the car next to you was, until you exited. If you were, you would not have been cut off. There have been numerous videos and directions posted in these forums about roundabout protocol if you do a search... unfortunately, common sense and caution will be the only safeguard as there will never be a time when everybody follows all the rules.
