Cycling with confidence is my normal routine, as for getting run over, it's happened a couple of times in the 40 years I've been cycling, its not pleasant.
Hand signal before pulling out to pass a parked car?

Did it happen because you were in the middle of the lane?

no, the last one, in 2008, I got clipped by an overtaking car.
Try not to let fear get the better of you, from looking at that road I'd say middle of lane is the only option. Anything else would be asking for trouble. That's just my opinion.

I've rarely been scared whilst on the road, the day that starts happening on a regular basis is the day I hang up my cycle shoes.

Whilst it does not make me any less confident, I know that I'm small and vulnerable. Unless there's no-one around I always look, signal, manoeuvre. I think that working on such assumptions as "they must know I will move over to overtake" or "they saw me look behind me, they must know" seem a bit silly when all you have to do is stick your arm out to avoid confusion.
Maybe if I'm feeling particularly small I ought stick a leg out as well?
