Any crash where you can walk away and the bike is not totaled is as close to a win as you can get without crashing. Good on ya!
The sudden left turn is just so darn scary, because at some point you have to commit...unless you want to slow to a virtual crawl. Which, I have to admit, I have done on occasion when a driver's vehicle language suggests impatience. If someone lets their car keep rolling or creeping...I do slow down greatly while watching the mirrors and stare right at the offender.
In addition to ferret's weaving maneuver, I ride with daytime brights (yes, I know it's illegal in some over-regulated societies) and will ride straight at a side-entering or left-turning vehicle to give them the full brilliance of those lumens.
