If you were already in the inside lane intending to make a right, the outside lane vehicle should have not entered the circle. You have the right of way to exit right.

It took me awhile to figure this out as well. I think this would be an example of what he talks about
:
Suppose Car A is going southbound on Morse and wants to take a left onto Odell Circle. Meanwhile Car B is heading northbound on Morse and wants to continue north on Morse.
Based on the rules, Car A should be on the inner part of the circle in order to progress 270 degrees to take the "left". However, car B has the option to be in either the inner or outer part of the circle since he wants to go straight through. In this case Car B chooses the outer lane.
We now have the situation where Car A is in the inner lane but must cross over the outer lane to make his turn onto Odell. If Car B does not yield sufficiently to Car A as Car A passes the northbound entrance to the circle, there will be insufficient spacing between the two cars when Car A has to cross over the outer lane to make his turn. Hence, it will appear as if Car A is cutting off Car B. In reality, Car B would be at fault since he did not properly yield to Car A. Car B should wait for Car A to completely pass him before he enters the circle.
