Use the traffic to block for you.
Q: When do bikers get taken out? A: When cars pull out in front of us at junctions. AKA the SMIDSY (Sorry mate I didn't see you). A potential solution that I've found myself using in multi lane traffic junctions is to adjust my speed and position so that other traffic screens me from vehicles waiting to pull out. If the blind gits can't see me coming, well maybe, they can see the van next to me. Of course this tactic brings its own risks: what if the vehicle next to you decides to move into your lane? A risk worth running I feel if you're alert, I've dodged enough cagers changing lane without looking/indicating (yes I mean you BMW drivers) to know I can get out of the way pretty rapidly.
