That is very interesting.
Of course, I do not follow that rule. When I am going 3/4 way around a roundabout, I drive in the inside lane and I believe I have the right-of-way to cut across the outside lane when I exit.
If a car in the outside lane tries to cut in front of me, I honk at them and keep honking until I am totally out of the roundabout. If I even suspect a driver in the outside lane might cut in front of me, I honk at them.
