Yeah I'm perfectly fine. Chuckled about it for a while as she was so apologetic and became worried when I wouldn't move the bike and instead got my partner to bring out a digital camera to take photos. "You're holding up the traffic" she said, to which I firmly responded, "yup and I'll continue to do so until I've photographed what I need to" (including one of her in the car 
). I bet she'd never seen the like before.
I've got no inclination to involve insurance when no damage is involved. As you say, it affects everyone else and even if I were blameless, there's no such concept in the insurance industry, and I'm sure your premium will always increase if a blameless incident is reported and settled without loss to your insurer.
I'm just glad it was dry, otherwise I might have lost grip and come a cropper. I've not been using the bike much lately due to the freezing temperatures. Any risk of ice, especially when my commute is now all urban with manhole covers everywhere and crap road surfaces, means I take the bus.
Just goes to show that even when you always signal in plenty of time, there's some dozy driver not paying attention.
