I see that happening a lot too, but it's a compound error. The Bike rider shouldn't be on the wrong side, and the driver should check forward as well as to the left and right.
I understand it to be law that you're supposed to walk facing traffic, so the driver should also be on the lookout for pedestrians, who never seem to be where they're 'supposed' to be.
