Good luck finding a UK driver that knows this, or even a pedestrian! I've had people shout at me for legally crossing a junction while the driver of a vehicle decided I was at fault, because... vehicular mass?
I had a woman literally skid to a stop in front of me to tell me I was running on the “wrong” side of the road. I was running against traffic, and she came from behind, which means that yes, she was actually on the wrong side of the road while delivering her belligerent explanation. Doesn’t have to make sense, I guess.
