Hi Andy,
As said, making eye contact is key to knowing they have seen you (but some still won't stop :rolleyes), but of course still plan for the worst.
Sounds like you took the right course of action, and the fact you are assessing near misses and not just collisions is a credit to you.
This wouldn't have helped you on the roundabout, but I've been known to swerve within the confines of my lane when approaching cars at T junctions etc - it definately seems to help them notice me (they probably think I'm pissed, or bonkers right enough, and I'm not sure how the local rozzers would view it, but it works for me
)
