You might indeed have the right of way.
Good luck trying to enforce it from beyond the grave.

(On a related note, I'd like to apologise to the poor chap with the heroic reflexes, whom I nearly mowed down due to inattention. There were neither motorised vehicles nor cyclists near me, so I didn't indicate for the turn I was about to make. I only realised the hitherto-ignored pedestrian wanted to cross the side road when he leapt, gazelle-like, backwards onto the pavement to avoid being struck by my ineptly-piloted ride after I turned into the side road without giving him any overt indication that I wished to do so. He looked most aggrieved, and I don't blame him. It reminded me that pedestrians also need to know the intentions of car drivers, and so I should signal for them, too.)
