Generally pedestrian is king, and it is our duty not to plough into them.
I have had similar moments myself and with hindsight would now consider me crashing into a pedestrian as something I have to take responsibility for, even when there has been gross negligence on the pedestrian’s part.

My good lady was cycling through Wandsworth Common at about 7.30am on her way to Hounslow when a pedestrian just steps off the pavement in front of her just near the station. Hits him full-on, goes over the front, lands on her back, cracks the back of her head on the way down. Cars stop, some get out, guy takes his coat off and puts it around her as she's sitting up by now. Meanwhile the 'man' who stepped out on her hangs around for about a minute and then fucks off without saying a word.
I was about to leave for work when I got the call, so I drove out from Thornton Heath to pick her up. Bike is ok (her beloved 90's Aussie Paconi 531 criterium bike), she's bruised, her neck is as stiff as a board, and her Giro Neon is cracked and her glasses are trashed.
So what sort of complete cunt does that to a woman and then just fucks off without an apology, an "are you ok?" or even an offer to replace her busted kit? The Giro is about £120 alone. I'm well tempted to go back there in the morning at the same time and wait for him (white, 30's, dark hair, overcoat) and either spark him straight out or at least drag him to a cash point. And that's now, when I'm calmer. Fucking spineless shitweasel.
