There is no such thing as "an automobile driver with 
the right of way."

It's basic driver's ed. You NEVER "have" the right of 
way. Instead, there are various situations where you 
must yield the right of way. You only proceed when none 
of those situations exist.

One of those situations, of course, is a pedestrian in 
your path. No matter how heedless or annoying they may 
be, you have no right to hit them with your vehicle or 
even drive in a way that threatens to do so.
