It is in the wrong. In Spain, even if it’s a dual lane carriageway exiting the roundabout, you MUST move into the right-hand, outer lane of the roundabout before exiting the roundabout.
In the case pictured, the yellow car is 100% in the wrong under Spanish law.
The right hand lane is the inside lane same on a dual carriageway or motorway

The inside lane in Spain is the left lane yes the picture shows the orange car in the wrong what are you trying to say?
The basic principle is that if you are entering and turning right, stay in the right hand/outside lane and before entering, indicate right and keep the indicators on until you exit. If you're going straight on, do not indicate before or on entering the roundabout.

In your original post you said “ exiting a roundabout from the inside lane is one of the most incorrect” or words to that effect

Only if you are driving on the left and traveling clockwise around a roundabout.
In Spain we drive on the right and travel anti-clockwise around roundabouts, ergo the right-hand lane is the outside lane on roundabouts, dual-carriageways and motorways.

It’s the inside lane the outside lane is for overtaking
Would you say the hard shoulder is next to the outside lane?

The LEFT hand lane is for overtaking. If you travel any distance in the left hand lane here, you are liable for a fine. Hard shoulder runs parallel to right hand lane. Because we drive on the right hand side of the road, not the left. So yes. Hard shoulder is next to the OUTSIDE lane according to DGT.
I’m guessing you don’t drive in Europe? Either that or you’ve simply decided to apply terminology which is at odds with DGT / Spanish law

I’m guessing you’re not reading what I’m writing the inside lane in Spain is the right hand lane
Same as in England the left hand lane is the inside lane
I’m guessing you get busses a lot

Now you’re just trolling. You use the terminology lo you choose to use, whatever. It differs from what DGT say but that’s OK, you do you.
Long story short. Exit roundabout from left lane BAD = Multa
EDIT: guidance via DGT -
Exit from the outer lane only.DarioMartin wrote on Thu Oct 24, 2024 8:05pm:

Cutting across lanes is a big no-no. You must be in the outer lane before you exit. If you miss your chance, don’t panic; just go around again.
But hey, you know better. Better take it up with them.
You actually are struggling with the rules of the road in Spain and any country
The side you drive on in this case Spain is the right which is the inside lane
The outside lane in Spain is the left hand lane
DGT will agree with me
You’re not understanding what I’m telling you
The right hand lane is the inside lane not the outside lane on a roundabout a dual carriageway or a motorway
The outside lane is what you use to overtake
dgt will agree ask them

*yawn* your trolling begins to bore me.
please re-read the excerpt I posted which came from DGT and would seem to disagree with you. Like I say, you know better - take it up with them, I’m not going to bother responding to your very obvious trolling anymore
