When a person is going straight, they typically have the right of way over vehicles turning left or right at an intersection.
If both have a green light the person making the right hand turn has the right of way. There person coming the opposite direction is crossing traffic and should yield to any on coming vehicles whether they are turning right or going straight through.
In most all states you loose your right of way when you make a turn.
The person who arrived first. If 2 people arrived at the same time, the person on the right hand side(as in if someone is on your right hand side) has the right of way

When hiking on a narrow trail, the person going uphill typically has the right of way.
At a four way intersection with four stop signs, the first driver there has the right of way. At this same intersection, if you arrive at the same time as a driver beside you, the person to the right has right of way. At a two stop sign intersection, the drivers on the cross street with no stop sign have right of way. The first person to either stop sign has right of way. If you arrive at the stop sign at the same time as someone across with a stop sign and one of you is turning left, the other person has the right of way. At a T intersection with no stop sign, the person at the top of T has right of way. Any person on the road has right of way over anyone coming out of a driveway or parking lot. A person going forward has right of way over a driver going in reverse. A driver on the freeway has right of way over those merging onto freeway. A driver in their lane has right of way over a driver making a lane change into their lane. A driver with a green light, going straight, has right of way over drivers or pedestrians crossing the street. At an intersection with no signs or signals, a driver to the right has right of way. At an intersection with no signal lights a pedestrian has right of way. *These are based on the laws in the state of Oregon. Other states and territories may be slightly different.
If you had the right of way then the other person is at fault, especially if they weren't looking where they were going.
I don't know about England, but, there should be a warning sign or arrows indicating that a lane is going to merge. Also, the person who is there first should have the right way.
- A driver approaching an intersection must yield the right-of-way to traffic already in the intersection. (traffic in the intersection has the right of way) - If drivers are approaching an intersection from opposite directions, the driver turning left must yield to approaching traffic going straight or turning right. (traffic going straight or turning right has the right-of-way) - Two drivers at an intersection that arrived at the same time at a right angle. The driver on the left must yield the right-of way. ( the driver on the right has the right of way) -Never insist on the right-away
4 way stop- the first person there or the person to the right if you are there at the same time. 2 way stop- drivers on the cross street, then whoever was first to the stop signs. No signs or signals - driver to the right and drivers going straight over drivers turning left. T intersection- Driver at the top of the T (based on Oregon state law)
The vehicle that is going straight has the right of way.
Assuming you mean "the vehicle going straight from the opposite direction": Yes, unless it is a four-way stop or you are crossing a thru-way with stop signs on each side. In these cases, the person who arrives and stops first will have the right of way over other stopped drivers, unless those drivers fail to stop or yield, in which case you would have an obligation to avoid a collision (yield) if you can do so safely. This is the "last clear chance" doctrine adopted in many states. Whoever had the last clear chance to avoid a collision is responsible for causing it.
