    The one already moving on the traffic circle.

    Everywhere I've ever lived it is the vehicle already on the roundabout, although I suppose it could be different in some places.

    In Canada, drivers follow this rule:

    "If two vehicles come to an uncontrolled intersection from different roads at the same time, the driver on the left must let the driver on the right go first. This is called yielding the right-of-way."

    On a traffic circle, this results in the somewhat ridiculous situation where vehicles wanting to join the circle have right of way over vehicles already on it.
