The driver gets so confused they have to put their latte and cell phone down for a moment until their brain starts turning over again. "What is that cyclist doing, balancing, oh my god is he going to damage my car, what's happening? I guess I'll have to call you back, I'm so confused."
"Confused" may lead to an unpredictable or irrational reaction. I don't think it's really about caring if a driver is confused or not. It's about making your intentions clear to drivers, so they don't do something stupid in mis-judging your intentions.
