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.

Isn't that the "custom" when you have a straight intersection. Not sure if it applies to side by side entry on the same road. I use the word "custom" because there is the question of judgement as to who got there first. Under law, it would be hard to prove. I would agree that the inside driver would need heavier proof that he/she was in the right.
