It terms of self-preservation, sure. If I'm walking down a road, I'll step to the side if a car approaches me from behind. I'd also turn to look at them and wait ...

But in law (as I understand it, please correct me if wrong) I'm a road user and as I was using that carriageway first (I didn't just step into it) I absolutely have right of way.
