A person going straight thru does not have the automatic right of way. If you both arrived at the circle at the same time, the person farthest to the right goes first. This is standard law when two people arrive at an intersection at the same time.
I never knew this rule of the RABs. I don't ever enter a RAB at the same time as another vehicle. I hang back and let them go first. Maybe that is not the correct thing to do but I feel safer that way.
