Alot of people think they know how to drive in the roundabouts and they honk at people even when they're in the wrong. The signs entering the roundabouts even show how to use them, but people apparently don't pay attention to them. Gets worse at snowbird time.
The problem I see here is if the other driver has entered the roundabout at your first exit. They are then going straight through from their angle. I always look to my right when exiting from the left hand lane and yield to any traffic that is there.
