If two cars are traveling side by side but one reaches the RB a half second before the other, that is NOT what No. 1 is referring to. Those two cars entered at the same time, the half second faster car was not in the RB before you.

If you are the only car traveling towards a RB and you see a car already in the RB when you reach it, that car has the right of way and you must yield. If you cannot enter the RB before that car reaches you then you must wait for it to pass.

If that car happens to be in the inner/left lane of the RB it can exit towards you, it can continue straight and exit at what would be your first exit, or it can continue around to what you would call the second exit.
You are 100% correct. Now let's sit back and watch about 1/2 of the subsequent posters make a fool of themselves by contradicting that.
