And you would always yield to a vehicle already in the intersection. Treat any traffic circle exactly the same.

Those that enter on the right and go 3/4 the way around are breaking the law just as you would be if you approached a traffic light in the right lane and made a left turn. It's called reckless driving and you can and should be ticketed for it. If you cause an accident by someone going straight through and you hit them when they turn in front of you because you are in the right lane going 3/4 the way around, you are at fault.
Or even 1/2 way around. Of course that means you probably entered the RB as the car in the left lane was approaching, WHICH YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IN THE FIRST PLACE
