STOP making up your own rules, STOP debating with those of us that know what we are talking about, and simply READ post #1 on this thread. If that is difficult, here is the applicable section:
Approaching Roundabouts • Reduce your speed and prepare to YIELD to ALL traffic in the roundabout. • Guide signs provide guidance for approach street locations, not lane use orientation
(Note---ALL traffic, not just traffic in the lane you plan to enter---ALL lanes
Navigating Roundabouts • Move up to the entrance line and wait for a gap in traffic. DO NOT ENTER next to a vehicle in the round about, as that vehicle may be exiting at the next exit.
Pretty clear, huh?????

Stubborn? There are as many posts on this site that state once a driver exits the round about they abruptly make a lane change to line themselves up with the resident gate. Is that legal when you have to cut someone off to do so? Absolutely Not!
We can argue what clear to go in a roundabout means. I am okay with that. I stated, like you, I would not make the right hand turn. Too many drivers switching lanes. But, some drivers make that choice.
However, No way are you allowed to cut someone off on a side street. I don't care how you got to that street. If a car is ahead of you, you yield!
the funny thing is...I am arguing this with you! I am certain neither one of us would ever cut anyone off. Can we just agree on that? Move on? Why are we debating things other people do?
