It does look like driver at fault here turning into the path of an oncoming cyclist.

Having said that, the cyclist should have been more aware of his/her surroundings.

I have encountered this type of road layout at my old house. But instead of just 1 traffic lane, it's 2 lanes with the inside lane being a bus lane. When a car let you turn into the side road from the main road, most of the time you can't see if any approaching vehicles in the bus lane (off bus lane hours). I always had to slowly nudge forward until the coast is clear.
