Two cars ABSOLUTELY can arrive at a roundabout at the same time. If you are heading straight thru and see a vehicle on the right side exit, you do not automatically make that driver wait while you sail through. Rule of traffic: when two vehicles enter an intersection at the same time, the person on the right goes first. In a roundabout, you reduce your speed and allow them to cross your path. This keeps traffic moving FOR EVERYONE

Wrong on both counts.

Imagine you have just turned onto Hillsborough from Morse (obviously, you are traveling west) and reach Charlotte Ct. there is a car on Charlotte Ct that pulls out from Charlotte Ct into your lane forcing you to hit the brakes to avoid hitting them. This is your example of a car on the right entering the roundabout. If the timing of the car entering causes you to hit the brakes then it is in the wrong. Certainly, you don't hit it, but you *do* recognize they were in the wrong.

When two vehicles arrive at the same time at an intersection with a stop sign, the car to the right goes first. When two cars arrive at an intersection that says "yield to vehicles on the left" or "vehicles from the left do not stop", then the car to the right yields. *That* is the sign that is posted at the entrance to the roundabout. Exactly the same as the example above, the car on Charlotte Ct must not enter if he will interfere with the traffic already on Hillsborough.

Argue all you would like but you will continue to be wrong.
