I have not experienced that often (if at all). I look at it this way, if I have room to safely exit the round about from the left lane, no one will get to my blind spot. They cannot be that close or I could not safely exit for fear of right hooking them.

I merge to the right lane as soon as I am out of the roundabout. Truth be told I make my intentions pretty clear on my way OUT of the roundabout which is bending the "best practice", but IMO safer .
Ya know, I was navigating roundabouts this evening and wondered if you might be edging over to the right simultaneously with the exit, thus keeping the oncoming traffic from 12 oclock in view as you shift lanes and behind you in the same lane when done...

Good. Seeing eye to eye, we are. Thanks for a sincere and intelligent discourse.
