imagine if you were the Kia driver, tootling along quite legally at 60mph or whatever she was doing
A 97 year old pulls out of a junction in front of you. You crash into him
Who is to blame? Is it him, or the council for letting you drive so fast

Again, conjecture.
You have no idea what speed she was doing, or if the manner of her driving was legal or reckless.
I'm not gonna bother giving you an answer to an entirely hypothetical question constructed specifically for you to receive the answer which you wish to receive, unless you're prepared to answer the equal and opposite question based on exactly the same amount of conjecture.
Imagine if you were the Range Rover driver, pulling out from a junction quite legally onto a 60 mph road. A middle aged woman appears, going much faster than the legal limit and smashes into the side of you. Who is to blame?

Citation needed.
I don't believe there is any legislation which states that.

well, I pulled out in front of someone
from a normal give way junction (which it looks like here) and my insurance told me they wouldn't challenge the claim if the person who hit me made one because they have right of way. The only exception to this is if the person doing the hitting broke any laws immediately before or during the accident - like speeding. But without equipment, or the evidence of numerous witnesses speeding is a difficult one to prove.

In the absence of any other evidence,
there is a general assumption that the person pulling out is at fault, but it is by no means certain.
