My friend suddenly sped up and crossed the right/outside lane staying ahead of the oncoming vehicle, in order to get in the resident lane.

Exactly what I described in the OP nearly caused an accident in which I could have been victim of a hit to the passenger side door.

My friend followed federal traffic rules, crossing broken lines. The other driver assumed that he had lawfully yielded, as we were nearly past him when our car swerved into the right lane.

The bottom line: For 3rd exit turns, the location of the Resident Gate in the outside lane invites drivers to change lanes perilously.

Key words..............explains it all!
