Just do it right and remain very observant of cars around you. Always assume the car next to you is oblivious.

These posts show that people are mostly confused.
YOU CAN READ THAT AS MOST OF US REALIZE THAT THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES ARE DANGEROUS.
You can actually LEGALLY make a right hand turn from the left hand lane. However, LEGAL does not mean it is safe to do so.
The person in the traffic circle has the right of way over people trying to enter. You must assume the person trying to enter KNOWS THIS, SEES YOU, CARES WHAT YOUR RIGHTS ARE. You dare not slow down for the other person THINKS you are INCORRECTLY yielding to them.
You need to THINK FOR OTHERS. I will not allow anyone to drive through the traffic circle next to me. First I cannot tell if you know I am there and secondly you are blocking my way to avoid an accident if someone incorrectly decides to enter the round a bout.
MY DAD TAUGHT ME TO DRIVE. SIMPLE RULE, EXPECT THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU TO DO THE STUPIDEST POSSIBLE THING BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO.
