I agree with Magnatom, I'd have been outside of the cycle feeder lane. Also, it's difficult to tell from the vid Arch but from just before the bus stop I'd have been looking hard over my shoulder to see who looked like they might be filtering left, identifying them, eye contacting them and making my intentions of going straight on pretty clear. Looks like from your head movements you've glanced back but only as you've reached the filter lane. Have I got that wrong?
I knew exactly how far away he was, because as I turned out from my side road, I could see him coming (a long way off, or I wouldn't have ridden out). I was aware of him behind me, by the noise of his engine. How I would have known what he was going to do, even if I'd looked, I dunno, as he wasn't indicating.
But thank you all, I realise now I'm a stupid incompetant who shouldn't be out on her own.
Domtyler, as far as I'm concerned, I was in secondary and then I moved to use the feeder lane once the road widened to the left, I certainly wasn't in the gutter. If I chose to use the feeder lane, that doesn't make it right for him to cut across me.
I've managed that junction plenty of time without issue, this is the first problem I've had, and even the driver, judging by his expression, knew he'd cocked up. But thanks for the critisism, which despite myself, I'm quite pissed off by.
