This 100%.
Also just assume every driver is trying to kill you and adjust accordingly, right of way means fuck all

Absolutely, right of way and all general highway code rules are irrelevant, cyclist will always come out worse off in any collision with a motorised vehicle, it's just not worth putting your self at risk.
A few common sense habits can see you safe and enjoy your ride, taking those risks hardly save any time anyways. -

is ridiculous. They don't. They may be lazy or tired or on the phone. Most are aware and try not to harm, impatient occasionally
Make sure they've seen you with good road position and observation, if they've not, ride accordingly

Try and stay away from hgv and coaches at junctions would be my tip, hang back. Go when they've done what they have to.
Disproportionate amount of fatalities involve them.
