For this event, follow up with an accident report, and make a claim against the motorist for damages. This should reflect on their driving record.
In the future, move further left into the traffic lane; you will have better visibility of this exact sort of car movement. And you will be less "hidden" by parked cars when a driver is coming out of a driveway. You will also have more room to swerve further left to avoid a car moving like this.
Good luck as a new commuter!
