YES!!!

Once I am in the roundabout, another driver must not enter the roundabout closely in front of me.

I have been here full-time for 7 years and have never had a close call in a roundabout, so I know what am am doing.

According to the "signs" the person on the outside lane may exit on the next two exits. You may exit on the next two or three exits, but who knows when you originally entered the circle?

I absolutely will cut in front of him to exit. The only way it would be possible for me to cut in front is if he didn't yield and entered as I was passing the road he was on. He did the wrong thing. I have no interest in rewarding bad behavior.

No, I won't cause an accident but I will make things uncomfortable for him.

There is no sign that says that the inside lane must turn right at the second or third exit.
Of course, the first post (OP) is not the norm for a round about and should be handled differently.

Wrong, if the outside lane hits me that car did not obey the yield sign because I was in the roundabout first. Did you forget there are yield signs for all vehicles entering a roundabout.

The car was IN the RAB.

They may make a turn from the center lane but MUST yield to the outside lane regardless of where the other vehicle entered the circle. I was told that it is simple, basic traffic rules. The signs are showing that the inside lane vehicle may/MAY exit from the inside lane, BUT they still must follow common rules of right of way. Just like the yield signs when entering the circle, where you must yield to any vehicle already traveling within the circle. Personally, I attempt to yield to ANYONE attempting to make a turn in the circle, regardless of which lane they are traveling. That way, I protect my vehicle and it's passengers from oblivious Villages drivers. My pet peeve is those that stop at gates to allow golf carts to cross in front of the entrance. It is especially hazardous when there is a light and vehicles are stopped and backed up with a green light, either turning or going straight.
But, back to the subject, if you cross in front of someone encroaching on their lane, be ready to cause an accident. Regardless of belief that you are right, you still caused the accident.

Which county traffic cop? Outside lane has two options. Turn at first exit or turn at second exit unless inside lane vehicle switches lane in roundabout should never be contact? But when outside lane vehicle wants to illegally go to third exit that’s when accidents happen.

Now if inside vehicle crosses into outside lane before second exit then he’s at fault. I see this lot enter roundabout in inside lane take the short cut by crossing into outside lane then back into the inside lane exiting straight through. I also see outside lane vehicles enter the roundabout in the outside lane cross over to inside lane and exit out the outside lane speeding through roundabout. Those are also the smucks you have to look out for cutting you off.
