In the situation presented, are you obliged to give way to the pedestrian?

In the video you are approaching a junction on a housing estate; sign C-8 requires you to turn right or left, and on the corner on the opposite side of the junction there is a man in a dark jacket who - when you turn right - steps off the pavement onto the roadway of this street and walks across it right in front of you, outside a pedestrian crossing. You have to give way to him. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act states that a driver turning into an intersecting road must give way to a pedestrian who is crossing the roadway of the road he is turning into, at the junction. The rule does not require a marked crossing in this place - what matters is that the pedestrian is crossing the roadway at the junction, and you are turning into it. In the video the man is already on the roadway, so you wait until he has crossed, and only then do you make the turn. Even if he were crossing in a place where it is not allowed, the Act still requires you to avoid anything that could endanger road safety: a pedestrian on the roadway is always a signal to slow down. When turning on a housing estate, you watch both pavements, because a pedestrian may step out from behind a parked car at the last moment.
