You did all you could including keeping your temper out of play even if just for the moment. Later, you let it out.
In any emergency situation we all need to keep as focused as possible. The more angry at that moment, the less focused we become, the less we can do.
I had a soccer mom make a left directly in front of me as I was going the opposite way. The windows were open so I honked my squeaker of a horn and she flipped me off.
Even when car drivers are dead wrong, many can't deal with it. Since they are the tank and I'm the fly, I have to expect it. Expecting it has helped more than once for me.

dont let cars push you around on the roads
the tighter they hug my arse, the closer they get to my back wheel = the slower I ride !!!!!
never allow a car that is behind you to dictate how your going to ride, as soon as you do that, the more likely the chance you will do something out of your skill set, and off ya come.
There is very little you can do about the num nut wanker behind you, so stick to your guns and ride the way that is safest for you, "donut" them!!
