Cycling in the sun

Well it had to happen sometime... I was waiting to turn right off a busy(ish) road (Northumbria Drive in Henleaze) in a right filter box behind another cyclist. A lorry/truck thing: X363 XBR waiting to pull out right finally became so impatient that he pulled out and caught the back of my bike. I was unbalanced but not onto the ground - nice scuff marks on the mudguards - but at least the brand new bike seems OK. I yelled at him ... his reply I should have waited further up - in other words parrallel with the other cyclist waiting to turn right. Should I have ....?
I was suprised by how shaken up I was considering that it was all at low speed and that I didn't end up on the ground. Made me realise that anything even slightly more major would leave me very very shaken up.
