Had a very similar incident with a moped on the bottom of Camden road just after mornington crescent. I was in the bus lane and he turned left and swiped across me leaving me absolutely nowhere to go. Luckily I wasn't clipped in and managed to slow down enough so I just touched him at low speed, we both wobbled a bit but neither came off.
Pizza delivery boy. He said to me didn't you see me indicate? he'd indicated as he started turning and clearly hadn't looked around. I lost it, made no difference at all, he was convinced he was right. The thing I took from that was that you need to concentrate and anticipate 100% of the time on the bike - there are some proper stupid arseholes out there on every form of transport, even foot. They won't change, so you have to be really aware.
