Now you were in the right, but unfortunately being right on a bicycle can also be pretty dangerous if you know what i mean. And yeah that driver was a moron.
In terms of #1, you are absolutely and, unequivocally right......I hate hindsight, don't you?

As for #2, I actually thought about that, right before it happened but, I didn't want to suddenly cause the car behind her, to swerve into oncoming traffic.
