When you're travelling straight over a junction alongside a vehicle turning left, rather than behind, you may have right of way, but the vehicle may not appreciate this or be aware of you. You often don't have a choice about being in this situation as the vehicle can pull alongside just as you reach the junction. The usual thing to do is brake and swear a bit. It sounds like in this case the driver made his awareness and courtesy clear, everyone went on their way and, for just one moment, all was right with the world.
