As I entered the RAB at 6 in the outside lane, he entered the RAB at 6 in the inside lane right behind me. I entered the RAB before him. He sped up to exit at 3 in front of me and rather than staying in his lane, he cut me off to get in front of me in my lane. It really doesn't matter if he switched lanes or not, he still would have cut me off as he sped up to exit in front of me at 3. I was heading to 12 to go straight. That is when I jammed on my brakes to avoid the collision. I think that explains it as best I can.

He was wrong.
I still find that hard to believe. I do not know the lengths of the vehicles but it would have to be a crazy maneuver to pass, swerve from the left, and exit right, if you entered first. Travelling from 6 o'clock to 3 is a short distance. I think one poster stated it takes 3 seconds to travel that distance. But, maybe you are a very slow driver.
