The problem is that the Highway Code is really clear that he should be giving way here, and people just don't know that's the case. If we always let people off, they will remain oblivious and the roads will never be safe.
I just don't want drivers to get angrier with me. I do sometimes tap on the side of a vehicle to alert them to a hazard, but am concerned this does more harm than good? This video shows a driver in front of you and not in a cycle lane indicating then turning with care - which is better than many!
I know what you mean about not wanting to make drivers angry, but unfortunately drivers are often angry with cyclists because of exactly what I'm talking about: not understanding the rules, their own obligations, or why cyclists do the things they do.

Being in front and signalling - irrelevant.
