If he is next to me and wishing to turn right, then he must wait until I am pass him. If he does not, HE is causing the accident. There is no sign that says I must stop to let him turn in front of me. I do not care what the diagrams say, YOU are turning right off of a circle regardless of exit. You must use your RIGHT turn signal. You are NOT using your left turn signal, therefore you are going right. You can NOT make a straight in a circle or you will leave the road and travel across the landscaping. Yes, I understand what you are saying, but go ahead and be right and end up in the body shop or hospital. Common sense says you yield to the person on the right that is going straight pass you, and you never cross in front of another car unless it is stopped. C'mon man! Personally, I drive defensively because I know that no one else cares what other cars are on the road and drive accordingly. My car lets me know when something is in my blind spots on either side of the car. By the way, those are yield signs at the entrance to the circles, so please don't sit there until the circle is empty before proceeding. Backing up cars in a line on the road is not safe either. I certainly hope that next time you cross in front of someone when making a turn, your spouse is not in the passenger seat, because it is not you that may suffer from "being right."

Still a bit of confusion here. If two cars enter side-by-side from the same entrance then the car on the left cannot exit to the right (90 degrees). It isn't that he should wait, he should not be exiting there. The car on the left must take the exit straight ahead or the exit to the left. That *is* what the signs indicate.
If you understood what I was saying then you would not have mentioned the body shop or hospital.
Let's try this one last time. If someone is going north on Morse and wants to get on Pinellas, what directions do you give them?
1. Enter the circle and exit to the right.
2. Take a left at the traffic circle.
Using the common meaning of the English language combined with a little common sense, option 1. would put them on Moyer Loop while option 2. would put them on Pinellas.
In the end it doesn't matter since I very much doubt you would be giving me directions anyway.
