Yes, that is exactly correct.

If I were the driver in the roundabout and you started to enter, I would give you a very long blast on my horn to hopefully keep you from entering the roundabout, and I would continue honking until I was safely out of the roundabout.

I drive slow going thru roundabouts, so if you ignore my honking and enter the roundabout, I will probably be able to easily avoid you, but I will keep honking until you are totally out of hearing range. This has happened to me a few times in the last seven years.
