As Patrick says it's about controlling the space around you and influencing drivers by your road position and communication. When you need to get seen, get in front of the driver and look back.
He does run the London School of Cycling, he's a cycle trainer. His messages are exactly what you would learn from cycle training. And yes drivers don't all get this and occasionally wish to punish people who are 'in their way'. (This 'punishment' was his original thought when he predicted 'blood on the streets.)
Still best advice if you are concerned: consider cycle training*
