A cyclist should check behind before making *any* manoeuvre that

If a driver is behind anyone driving/riding erratically then they should
take that into account and drive with consideration to those conditions.
However, if there were a collision in the example quoted, I would expect
the cyclists to be found at least partly negligible _if_ it could be
proved they pulled out into the path of a vehicle _without_ looking.
