In 84 I was that cyclist. Coming up the inside of a stationary line of traffic someone let a car turn in front of me. I was OK but wrote off a brand new bike (remarkably I'd insured it). No action with either driver - even I didn't think of it. I'm still careful now.

I witnessed a similar accident, in busy traffic, and was the only one to go to the cyclists aid. For months I had phone calls and correspondence, back and forward, with his insurers and lawyers. Never found out how it all panned out.

Also don't forget that using indicators can help the pedestrians who are trying to find a gap in the traffic to get across a road. There's a roundabout near where I live which has 3 lanes going around it and, on part of it the outside lane is marked as being for a minor road and the next bigger road. Pedestrians have to figure out when it's safe to cross the minor road (there's an island in the middle which helps). There's a steady stream of traffic and to avoid some very long waits it's necessary to assume that a vehicle which isn't indicating to turn off is going to the next road. However, about the drivers of about 50% of the vehicles turning into the minor road don't bother to indicate their intention so pedestrians need to be ready to move quickly. There's also plenty of potential for harvesting a load of fines!
