Pinch Points

Parked vehicles on the offside, approximately say five vehicles, so you have right of way, the road is not that wide, your half way through the hazard, your a good doors width away from the parked vehicles & a vehicle is approaching towards you.

You anticipate that he's going to try & squeeze through, instead of holding back for a few seconds.

Do you.

A: Change speed & position & move over very close to curb. Or

B: Move a little more offside, maintaining a doors width from the parked vehicles, to try & dissuade the oncoming vehicle.

No, you have priority.

It seems a pedantic difference, but if everybody remembered that difference, it would make life a lot simpler and mean people are a lot less likely to put themselves in these positions.
Right of way / Priority. Can you expand please on the differences & how that could change people's behaviour.

Thanks
