Just wondering about the law in this. No highway code to hand unfortunately.
the scene:
Road narrows to a single lane for about 30 feet. Signs dictating who has right of way. Same gradient changes as a hump back bridge.
Would i be correct in assuming that the car with signed right of way should give way if the other vehicle has entered the restriction and is more than half way through?
I seem to remember the highway code using the phrase "has commenced and is committed to the maneuvre".

stuck half way down and nobody giving in...
That's exactly what the old giffer did to me. He could have stopped 4 feet further back and we'd have been fine, but we both stopped nose to nose.
Trouble is, after both engines had been switched off and about 5 minutes had elapsed, he pulled out a lethal weapon.
A copy of the Times (tabloid size edition), at which point i quietly sidled back and let the car behind me approach an old man parked in the middle of the road reading the paper.

Excellent. Ta very much.
Don't you love self righteous gits who think there in the right when actually there wrong.
As an old psychatrist said to me "Don't argue with monkeys, they only chatter back to you".
You should have let his tyres down, I'm sure he would have soon shifted then.
I bet it was "I wish I was driving a V8 landy with bullbars and a winch" moment.
