There seems to be much debate and inconsistency regarding the local laws as to who has rights of way in various situations. I prefer to use common sense and follow a much less ambiguous law, the law of physics. I get out of the way of anything bigger and/or going faster. I don’t want to be the person lying in a hospital bed saying, “but I had the right of way”.
