I've had a few experiences of going straight on through a junction, and encountering someone from the opposite direction turning right who insisted it was their right of way.
A couple are particularly memorable and I can pinpoint the exact location. One of these was in Stoke-on-Trent (Hanley), the other York. In York, it was just an angry beep after letting me pass, while in Stoke it was a case of forcing me to do an emergency brake to avoid a collision.
Can anyone explain this?
Is this sort of thing common?
Am I right to expect right of way for going straight on through a junction?

- Stoke (Hanley) example: going straight on from Lower Bethesda Street, to Bethesda Street.
- York example: going straight on from Low Poppleton Lane, to Beckfield Lane.
