You did the right thing, almost.
Should've folded his wing mirrors in, mounted the pavement so he couldn't run you down, and then make off whilst attempting to moon him.
The wing mirror thing is great for buses if they are really being idiots. I've only ever done it once, but if you do the passenger side it takes them ages to correct it.
Usually though, my relationship to both cabbies and bus drivers is pretty good. I make sure they see my intent and that I understand theirs... no problem then. Of course, that doesn't account for the crazy ones like in your story, but they're not all bad apples.
