AGREE...........What is so difficult to understand if you picture the RAB as an analog clock? You enter at 6:OO and exit at 9:00. Visualize that you have made a LEFT TURN even though you had to turn your steering wheel to the right to exit the RAB. This is not that difficult.

Her is another one......
Enter the RAB at 6:00 and exit at 12:00. You just went straight even though you had to turn you steering wheel to the right to exit the RAB.

It is a circle. If you don't turn your steering wheel to the right at any given time to exit, you will just go around in circles. Have fun. Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
