The disaster that can happen from doing what is legal and logical in your scenario is that if you're going to continue straight using the inner (left) lane, at 180 degrees around when you correctly "exit" the rab to go straight, some moron in the right lane decides to go left from that right lane while he's beside you as you are "exiting" the rab. T-Bone city for you.

One of the keys is to never be beside another driver in the circle if possible. And don't enter the rab if anyone is coming on your far left----ya never know WHAT they're going to do, right or wrong.
