It happened again today as it has happened countless times before three

Er, priority to the right ?

Priority from the right only applies when vehicles are actually on the
roundabout and, until someone enters, everyone has equal right to do so.

So all three arrive at the roundabout and all stop because they see
someone else to their right that they will have to give way to. No-one
is on the roundabout. Two of the three both think "bugger this - I'm
going" at the same time, with the result that the one on the right will
hit the one to his left, and it will be the latter's fault.

No. Under such circumstances you would be expected to set off slowly in
anticipation of having to stop again immediately.

Insurance companies would normally declare such incidents as 50/50 blame.
