Apart from the extra road opposite the car, I have this same scenario every morning coming out of the road where I live.
There's a "KEEP CLEAR" box there, and traffic lights to my left, so if I have a lorry, van or bus to my right my view is generally obscured.
Only difference is that being a biker for so long I will try and look and listen for any bikes/cyclists approaching, but in fairness sometimes I just have to nudge out until I can see for myself. I would never just pull out and turn right though.
I wouldn't be surprised if the car driver was looking left at the time as well, thinking the right side was all good, the same as pedestrians do when they walk out into the road between vehicles. That's where my air horn comes into play. :evil
