It still sounds as though a car was approaching in the roundabout and you calculated that you wouldn’t interfere because you would be using the inside lane while she would be using the outside.


The correct thing to do is to yield for traffic already in the roundabout. Period. No calculation, no inside/outside, just yield to any traffic already there. If you had done that then she would have been in no position to interfere with you (and vice versa)
