I've been over the bonnet of a left turner. He overtook and turned left immediatley with his windows misted up in the rain. I don't remember a lot of it but a few weeks later I found a business card in my wallet. Then it came back to me that the guy in the passenger seat had told me the driver was an idiot who shouldn't have been driving with fogged up windows and was a bit of a crap driver too. He'd given me their business card to get me to complain to the company. I must have hit my head or something and been concussed as I couldn't remember a lot of what happened.
Always best to assume the worst. Don't assume that not signalling left doens't mean they're not going top turn left.
Importantly ride well out from the left of the lane you're in. Hog the road a bit. It's safer even if it does piss the occaisional person off.
Getting in to an arguement with someone is never really going to get you any where. If they're prepared to argue with you it's very unlikely they'll back down and agree with you. Even if they know they're in the wrong.
