Yea, I realized that I had said that and tried to revise my post but somehow they got deleted. Here is a better explanation.As you can see it can happen whether you are in the right or left hand lane.

In that case driver is completely wrong. You should never enter a round-a-bout at 6:00 in the right lane if your intention is to exit at 9:00. The right hand lane is for 3:00 and 12:00 ONLY. If you are in the right hand lane, you need to move to the left hand lane before you get into the round-a-bout or move over where the dashed lines are within the round-about.
I have a problem almost every week, where I enter a round-a-bout at 6:00 in the left lane intending to exit at 9:00. The problem occurs when I need to exit. Sometimes cars are entering, at what is 12:00 to me, in the right hand lane and right behind me. They are going around to the point where I entered. (6:00 to me and 12:00 to them) If I try to take my exit, I am going to have to cut in front of them.
The problem is worse when there are three or four cars entering there are the same time. If I don't cut in front of the first one, I'd have to stop in the left hand lane of the round-a-about until all cars go by.
I am very aware of this always just super careful. I try to make eye contact with the driver entering the round-a-bout and sometimes point to where I'm going
What I was pointing out is that we can have a problem even when all parties are following the rules.
