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.
There were no cars visible to me in either the inner or outer lane when I entered the RAB.The car that cut me off was speeding. That is how he caught up to me. He must have entered at 9 after I entered at 6. Yes, that is quite a bit of ground to cover but he did it by speeding.
