It's not so much a right of way issue.
It's exerting your rights of way, and how it's treatment is received.
Remember . The incident with the girl who stepped in the road one of our forum hit.
Clearly had a right of way. But still got a claim from the girl.
You can say that the woman din't look, but she may have looked and expected the bike to be moving slower. And miss judges the dash cross the road.
