Your scenario is exactly why I prefer to use the outside lane whenever I’m going “straight through” a roundabout. However, you were not at fault, the other driver was at fault. She was either going further around in the outside lane than she should have, or else she didn’t yield to both lanes of traffic and stagger herself far enough behind you when she entered the roundabout.
