I was travelling slowly on a residential street. Vehicles were parked to my right. There was no parking allowed on the left side of the street. A car came in the other direction, started shouting at me that I should be giving her the right of way since cars were parked on my side (i.e. my right). I'll admit the space was tight, but there was room for both of us. Also, there was no divider on the street! I believe the other driver was incorrect. However I can see a grey area. I think if the street was 2 meters narrower she would have been right. Then again at that point I think there would either be no parking on the street or it would be a one-way, or at least a divider on the road. Ironically she passed me - there was no need to pull over. Thoughts?

Interesting, I was wondering about that.

While the courts have generally adapted the interpetation I have given in civil cases, to my knowledge, there has not been a definitive decision with regards to that section where there is NO dividing line. Rather, the cases have all had a dividing line.
