Who should give way when passing parked cars on a narrow road in Northern Ireland?

The Highway Code says drivers should give way to oncoming vehicles before passing an obstruction on their own side of the road.

Rule 163 applies to parked vehicles as well as other obstacles. Check the available road width and stop if an approaching vehicle cannot pass safely. Do not accelerate into the gap and force the other driver to reverse. If both sides have obstructions, use judgement and courtesy rather than assuming one driver always has absolute priority.
