I had a similar incident a few years back when driving a coach. A van on my left (straight ahead lane) started to indicate right, there was no way I was going to swerve across into another lane not knowing what was in my blind spot so I stuck to my lane but slowed down a little. He would have made it through but for the trailer he was towing getting wedged into the door of the coach!
When we stopped he was half on the verge and I was in my lane blocking the main road at Marsh Mills roundabout in Plymouth onto the A38 at rush hour. He had the nerve to say "I was indicating you should have let me in"!
The police arrived at took some statements then closed the roundabout so we could detach our two vehicles, but they didn't wait for me to get back in first! I had to climb up the emergency exit! I recall there being some long queues that morning!
There days I drive my D2 with great care, keeping an eye of for anyone driving stupid and just let them get on with it, plus I've fitted a dashcam in case there is any need to prove liability.
