In Iceland, the traffic laws state that a car that comes from the right has the right of way. There’s a regulation that says that cars on the inside lane of a traffic circle have the right of way. Because our traffic circles go counter-clockwise, the outside lane is on the right. There was an accident on a traffic circle once, and the insurance company pointed out that, when they conflict with each other, laws have precedence over regulations, and the car on the outer lane had the right of way.
