As I was about to pass the exit at 3 (as if to go to Winn Dixie), another car in the inside lane came SPEEDING past me and exited into the outside lane directly in front of me. No, there was no resident gate to deal with as he sped past me onto Stillwater Trail. He may heave been heading to Winn Dixie and needed to go grocery shopping in a hurry. All I know is my purse landed on the floor of the car because I had to jam on the brakes hard enough to avoid that collision.

I find it hard to believe a vehicle that was not in the RAB before you managed to pass you from the opposite side of the RAB. There is more distance that needs to be travelled in the inner circle than your vehicle travelling from 6 o'clock to 3. If I am wrong, the other vehicle must have been moving at excessive speed. If this is the case, the driver was a lunatic who possibly had a death wish.
If I am right, you did not yield. Clear to go in a RAB does not mean your lane only. Vehicles in the inner circle always have the right of way. You have to allow them to exit either by stopping before entering or leaving a gap. The reason? Cars in the inner circle must cross over the outside circle to exit. It is impossible for those in the inner circle not to do so.
