The person who has to cross the white line should give way. If both would have to cross then I guess it is whoever got there first. You shouldn’t enter a gap that you know someone is already committed to.

It’s going to hurt you alot more than it’s going to hurt the car.

So if the obstruction is on one side of the road, the other clear side has priority.
- If its a narrow road in the absence of priority signs then it would be whichever was there first.
- if its not clear, its whoever is polite!
If I see situations like this coming up I tend to ride quite assertively in my lane ie in the middle. Sometimes that works – sometimes not.
