I trust you were not saying that when two people meet in a rotary that the one on the right has the ROW. Of course, this is exactly opposite of how a rotary works here in the US. The only exceptions are the screwy intersections shaped like rotarys where the yield signs give ROW to traffic entering over traffic in the rotary. This is how the Alton rotary was before they finally fixed it, and like a few others are like the one in Dublin, NH. These backwards rotarys are an ideal recipe for accidents.

In a rotary, traffic in has ROW over traffic entering. You wording seems backwards to me.
