Re: Could be worse
Also the priority tends to go to the fleshiest obstacle i.e. the pedestrian. Always the vehicle (bike/car/whatever) is expected to be aware of and avoid the pedestrian wherever possible. Even when they're blantantly in the 'wrong' place (cycle path, road) and not paying any attention to their surroundings.
As in, you can't mow someone down just because they're walking on the road.
