I think to discuss this one case in isolation is a little pointless as no-one has a video of the incident so it's all going to be conjecture. However though there are roads full of numptiies out there, I'm of the opinion that we should be able to anticipate or avoid situations 99% of the time. So whether on this occasion it was one of the one-percenters who knows?
It's also very easy to get annoyed and mete out what we think is "justice" at the time but on reflection it's rare that we would have done the same thing had we been calm and sober.
Other vehicles pulling out unexpectedly are part and parcel of biking and we should expect it and accept it, difficult though that often is.
