Hmm, so in other words you felt it was ok to make a right turn without signaling and without checking for another vehicle coming up to your right and rear? Congrats, you did the typical motorist right hook.
You both were wrong - he should have been paying attention and planning for you to do the stupidest thing possible, while you didn't bother signaling or giving a look.
