You can never quite predict what's going to happen at that junction. Is it going to be "is that it? I was expecting armaggeddon" or mexican taxi standoff or perhaps sudden emergency nodder stop. How about someone pondering turning off into the road but then deciding that t-boning a taxi is maybe not so great and cutting you up as they retreat back to the danger of the cycle path or my favourite - the Star Trek transporter taxi which suddenly materialises in front of you even though you KNOW you checked every possible direction.
Sounds like you got lucky - hopefully no damage to you or bike
