What am I supposed to do, not be there?
The convention is that you don't attempt to initiate a pass on the side with the flashing lights or the arm sticking out. You can be cheeky if you are sure the vehicle cannot proceed, but you do not have right of way and there is enormous personal risk to yourself if you get it wrong. As you nearly discovered.

Scenario:
I'm filtering on the right up to an ASL past stationary traffic.
The light goes green literally as I'm on the right of the front-most lorry, who's indicating right.
I'm on his right as he moves off to turn right.
What am I supposed to do, not be there?
Happened to me today and I think I might have been in the wrong position but not 100% sure what to do in that situation.
