In the UK fundamentally the law is as follows...
'Pedestrians, horses and their riders, drovers or farmers with animals, and
cyclists use the highway by right, motorists and vehicles use it by licence.'
... although this is rarely observed in practice.
Given that in most countries you can drive only once society has
granted you a licence, the fundamental law isn't very different.
Anyway, the point I'm making is a very basic one: motorists do not
have 'rights', they are granted 'privileges' by society.
Unfortunately, society seems to have forgotten this.
