Was my driving technically correct?
Discussion
Surely I had right of way? Was I being unreasonable about making a point about right of way?
No and yes are the correct respective answers.
I seem to recall a poster who vanished from here around the same time this poster arrived - went by the name of Large Chris or suchlike.
Very similar posting style and words.
His thread on finding a golf bag trolley was nearly as good as this one.

Let us not forget the OP's Ryanair First Class seats thread and this question:
"Am I on a special list of some kind? I suppose I'm an elegant fairly posh and presentable sort of bloke, is it like when I'm shown to the front of restaurants to give more window appeal to prospective customers?"
I think perhaps the oncoming mid tier local council manager types failed to recognise the OP's superior status and were definitely at fault for not giving way to him.
Restaurants often fill the window to make them look busy. Oh and keep them away from other customers."Am I on a special list of some kind?

Well that's b
ks. There's no such convention. For a start, aircraft can move in more than one dimension... Second, most passenger aircraft are equipped with TCAS to resolve this scenario because no international convention exists, hence the convention is to do whatever instruction the TCAS gives you which is usually up or down because planes can do that much more easily and quickly, not left or right. In other cases, ATC will usually intervene. There's no specific convention on what your avoidance action has to be when at risk of a mid-air collision with another aircraft other than those. "Turning right" in an aircraft isn't as simple as turning the steering wheel in your car. 
You may want to peruse both (RA) 2307 Rule 13 (military) and SERA.3210 (c)(1) (civilian) rules of the air.ks. There's no such convention. For a start, aircraft can move in more than one dimension...

This thread definitely hasn’t gone the way the Op hoped!
Hopefully he will rethink his driving strategy and brush up on the rules.
Op. Everything you need to know for the circumstance in question in in Highway Code Rule 163
I think it's gone precisely as he'd hoped and planned. I'm convinced that he meticulously searched for that specific topology, which is practically flat, in that rural village/narrow country road setting on Google maps purely to start this thread and wind people up, made sure he got the directions correct with the cars on Street View pictures, and drop the numbers in at the right moment, but he hasn't actually been on that road or in this scenario with the people he's describing at all. Hopefully he will rethink his driving strategy and brush up on the rules.

He's just a troll who may or may not be a reincarnation of a previous poster. I'd go so far as to suggest that mods should check the veracity of this tale and the OP's profile/credentials, and should consider sanctioning the OP.
I hate trolls with a vengeance.

So back on topic, do you thinka) it's completely irrelevant
b) think the op is correct,
c) both cars should have turned right,

If that's the one I think I recall it was an amazing thread. Wasn't it something like the Chris chap nicked a golf gizmo, had a twinge of conscience and so posted on PH asking if what he did was OK, got told by everybody that no nicking golf Gizmos wasn't OK, and then came up with a series of ludicrous reasons why he was purer than the driven snow despite being a golf gizmo thief? If anybody's got a link I'd like to relive that one - it's a slow day at work - and yes there are certain similarities with this thread. Very similar posting style and words.

OP is not intelligent enough to be a troll.An exciting new thread from the op, similar results to this one but got more people to agree with him this time.

I don’t think it’s trolling tbh.

I like the OP occassionally decide that the cars in the distance coming towards me are going over the posted limit, and as I've reached the parked cars, and they have enough time to safely reduce their speed, I continue to overtake the parked cars.
Often they wave with a middle finger. Okay. Thanks. I just wave back with a normal wave. Or shrug.
