Most people driving green cars a tossers - same as orange and gold ones. If I see one I am always expecting something just like I do when I cross paths with an Audi or BMW

100% green car. Cyclist is perfectly legally overtaking stationary traffic, even if on the wrong side of the road (assuming nothing coming the other way). Green car should only pull out if it is safe to do so. Being flashed by another car means nothing. The green car needs to take account of the bike's stopping distance, not the other way round. Presumably the pushbike is not speeding !
Cyclist should still be paying attention to side roads, and presume someone will pull out, as you should do on a motorbike.If they don't pull out, that's a bonus.

If you are on a main road you have right of way over someone pulling out of a side road, whatever the circumstances.Highway Code para 172 Road Traffic Act Regs 10(1), 16(1) & 25 http://www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/using-the-road---road-junctions-170-to-183.html
