Your car enters the RAB. You previviously said the 2nd car came out of nowhere which means it was some distance behind you. The second vehicle had to speed up significantly to pass you from the left lane. Then maneuver the length of his vehicle to exit right without striking you. He had to do this within 3 seconds if you were travelling normal speed. Instead, you had to be driving very slowly for this to happen.

If this is the case, the driver in the 2nd vehicle was a lunatic. Most would drive the inner circle at a safe speed, then exit. There is no need to pass another vehicle from the left lane to exit right.
The guy may have wanted to be in the right lane to make the right turn into the Winn Dixie parking lot. That is my best guess. He must have entered the RAB right behind me. If I didn't look in my rear view mirror at that moment, then I didn't see him until he nearly collided with me.
