As for leaving the scene, I guess since there was no collision they weren't actually involved. He'd have probably been better off insurance-wise to drive into her.
This. I'm surprised so many people are coming down on the side of the car here - they pulled out without looking, and caused an accident.
As far as the 'aggressive acceleration' argument goes - that could easily have been a car coming straight through the previous set of lights, at the full speed limit (and I doubt they would've avoided rear ending her).
tl;dr I think definitely the cars fault, but I agree that with better observations, the rider could probably have avoided the accident.
