Cover your brakes, moderate your speed if there's a potential conflict, position yourself so that you can be seen, be aware of your surroundings, recognise who has priority, and the appropriate response to a potentially moving hazard in the road is to stop, not swerve. So, yes, but that's fairly generic roadcraft.

Knowing who had priority or who may have been at fault is of little consolation when you're lying in the road in pain. Ride to avoid anything.

Funnily enough, I was making exactly the opposite point i.e., that you should be aware that anyone already in the road has priority and that ringing your bell or sounding your horn doesn't give you priority. As a general principle, you can give priority, but you can't take it.
