I think I can answer this, as I grew up outside Boston MA,
went to school and lived in the city. If the oncoming car
a) is bigger than your car, b) is more beat up than your car,
or c) is a police car, you yield to it.  Otherwise, assert yourself
and claim your right of way by flooring it through the turn. [1]

This may not apply to traffic outside of the Boston and Rte. 128
area.  When I moved to NH, I was amazed at how timid other
drivers were around rotaries/circles.
