If you know your turning on a side road then get into the outside lane your don't turn into a lane to turn. I mean common sense tells you to get into the outside lane. If you where on the road an cut in front of someone . Cause if you hit me while driving in the inside lane while trying to turn you'll be sued I promise you..

There are arrows on each round about, but doesn’t stop people from doing it wrong. Good news is can’t blame it on the snowbirds. Watch out for those Florida plates.

You aren't allowed to change lanes WHILE you are in a roundabout. That's against the rules. If you're going 3/4 of the way around the circle, you are required to enter on the inside lane. And you are required to exit from the same lane. The person coming in from the next entry point ahead of you should be watching for you, because YOU have the right of way. If you cut them off to turn, then it's their fault, because they were supposed to wait until you had passed the exit (or exited) before they entered.

And if I’m in the inside lane and going straight through and you’re in the outside lane going around 270, I promise you I’ll sue AND win

And the argument starts again. Fact is that you may not know where the other car entered the circle and where they wish to turn. You can be right and still end up in the hospital. Is it worth being right? These circles should only be one lane, period.

Someone needs to research the applicable traffic laws on how to utilize a roundabout.

Great idea.
Spend millions changing road systems because a few can't be bothered to learn a simple procedure.

Actually yes I can because those vehicles are from out of state.

Nope. It sounds like you may need to learn the proper way to use a roundabout.

Everyone is going to turn on a side road sooner or later in a roundabout. Thus using your logic no one is ever in the inside lane. Out of state ? Where are you from ?

Have you done any research on the traffic laws for roundabouts?

This is not correct. If I enter to RAB at 6 and plan on exiting at 12, I may be in either lane. If I enter in the left lane, I stay there until my exit. At which point I cross the right lane to do it. If you are in the right lane, you must yield to me.
If you saw me on the RAB and entered alongside me, you are wrong. Cars on the RAB have the right of way.
It would be incorrect of me to enter on the left at 6 and exit at 9 however.
