Yes, pedestrians have the right of way. But having the right of way won't save your life if the driver coming toward you don't care, or is too drunk to notice, or lost their glasses and is driving without them, or is too busy talking on the phone to even look at the road in front of them.

I have seen no posts suggesting that a pedestrian should ignore any danger and rely on their right of way, I have seen posts to the effect , You need to get out of my way, you could get hurt, posts that are incredulous to the idea that a pedestrian isn't required to dodge out of the way, the instinct for self preservation and common sense are two things that should always present when you might encounter the "get out of myway" attitude driver
