On a fairly open roundabout I can see a car approaching from a road on the right. Given that I will be on the roundabout first who has the right of way? Is the rule give way to traffic on the roundabout or give way to traffic on the right?
I see so many cases where because the driver entering the roundabout sees there is no traffic on his right he assumes he has right of way.


Nightjar's post gives what I feel is the plain meaning of the words
"give way".

In addition compare the Highway Code's:

"give priority to traffic approaching from your right" with

"watch out for all other road users already on the roundabout".

Evidence that if they meant "give priority to traffic already on the
roundabout on your right" they'd have said so.
