I always break down roundabouts into two simple rules:

- Cars already in the circle have the right of way over those entering (so yield going in).
- On a dual-lane roundabout, cars on the inside lane have the right of way over everyone.

And you can even make it simpler:

- The right of way is simply a hierarchy from the inside of the circle to the outside. Inner lane > outer lane > outside of circle.

That's it. Easy peasy.
