Even if you were sure it was safe it's not really on to pull out in front of someone. It's the uncertainty it causes, you don't know if you've really been seen or if the person pulling out has an appalling sense of speed and distance or if they are just a bit mental. Waiting won't delay your journey by much more that 10 seconds and you don't risk prompting someone to attempt an emergency manoeuvre.
+1 this morning, a bloke on a hybrid saw me, waited for a bit, then pulled out just as I was passing him, fortunately there was enough room against an overtaking HGV - primary position saved my ass - thanks again Will, I owe you!!!!
