Ah, might is right. Not a good way to run a society.

Far better to run it with rules, such as Rule 146 of the Highway
Code:

Take extra care at junctions.

You should watch out for cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians
as they are not always easy to see
watch out for pedestrians crossing a road into which you are
turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so give way

It's amazing the number of people who pretend they have not read
this rule when it suits them.
