F*ck me that is scary.
I had a similar but nowhere near as frightening incident with a Royal Mail lorry, which I followed up, although I wasn't hurt. They were pretty good at promising to retrain their driver.
Now whenever a lorry begins to overtake I slow right down, brake even, to let it pass as soon as possible. No point in arguing as you have so eloquently described.
