A kid in my neighborhood growing up got hit by a car pretty bad. It was a pickup truck with wide mirrors on the side. The mirror somehow hooked onto the kid and dragged him for some distance. Apparently, the driver didn't even see him, as he kept on driving after the kid got loose of the bike. The kid was riding on the side of the road, to the right of the white line (in the US). He absolutely had the "right of way". But what did that get him? Three weeks in the hospital and his skin is probably still jacked up 30 years later.

My point is that "right of way" is dumb. Cars and bicycles just don't mix.
