Cyclist rides straight out of side road without looking.

That makes a change, it's usually drivers who pullout on cyclists from
side roads.

It is very curious how the rider started off and stopped pedalling. It
has very similar hallmarks to the way pedestrians step out and dither in
front of me when I'm on a bicycle, requiring me to rely on my front brake.

The driver displayed nice, controlled braking; more associated to skill
and experience, not the training given for the driving test.

And when that happens MrFriendless tells us it is the cyclist's responsibility to be able to stop in time.
