From the driver point of view you appeared from 'no-where' into roadspace that they were just about to accelerate into.
That was the bloke's issue, that he didn't check that mirror. But what are the over-taking laws? I'm pretty sure that if you're over-taking on a straight road, you're only really in the right if you do so on the right hand side (unless there's a cycle lane).
