The car behind stood on their horn as I hit the brakes. So once I stopped I dismounted & gestured.
hehe idiots who honk impatiently reaally pee me off

Obviously I don't know the situation/road layout, but is there no opportunity to sit on the wrong side of the road (obviously when there's no opposing traffic). I often do that to get a better view & allow more time to react.
The parked cars were almost completely covering the other side of the road but I pushed as right most as possible, which helped!
