The person coming out of the driveway is at fault. I know that it is difficult to see oncoming traffic sometimes, but it is the responsibility of the person pulling out to look, roll down his/her window, and listen for traffic. I live just over the top of a hill, and I am often unable to see oncoming traffic. I usually just open my window, listen for a few seconds and then go when I know it's safe. Whether someone waves you in or not, you have to wait until you can see if it's safe.
