side roads on my right who turned on to the street in the same direction
of travel as me - right in front of me, such that I had to take evasive
action to avoid a collision. I believe their view of me was blocked by
the left side A pillar.

That's interesting. I've noticed similar situations where the driver's
A pillar might have hidden me from view. That definitely puts me on
high alert, ready to evade.
