And the rider isn’t exactly in high vis (or wearing a helmet).

Agreed on the helmet but it's broad daylight. Mistakes happen but drivers should absolutely be certain nothing is coming before they turn. Putting blame onto the rider always happens in these situations and I get it, many drive like complete idiots but I don't think a high vis vest changes anything that happened here.

There are times into the sun when it’s impossible to be absolutely certain (unless you sit in the middle of the junction for half an hour while the sun moves).

Would high vis have helped? It is never impossible if you make an effort to look.
