As an example I saw at least three drivers yesterday that intentionally violated the roundabout rules which is why i hold back when I notice a vehicle to the right of me.
When turning right, I merge into the golf cart lane to show my intention to any oncoming carts. That seems to follow logical driving rules and I am yet to see where it is illegal to do so. Please provide a link to an official site that could clarify your findings. I cannot find anything on it.
