A car came along on the right of me and exited west onto St. Charles too, almost cutting me off, because. But here's my question... if that car were going straight from the east side of St. Charles, around the RAB to the west side of St. Charles, it was legal, correct?
If so, you could be on the inside lane, turning left, end up t-boning someone, and you would be at fault.

The car coming from the east side of St. Charles to go west should not enter the roundabout until you have passed that point. If they speed up to pull alongside you and prevent you exiting to the resident side of the gate, I would just use the visitor side. Fortunately, that is more rare than the one going 3/4 of the way around in the outside lane.
