This issue comes up quite a bit on busy rivers - Who has the right of way?  Generally it's the upstream craft or the one 'under control'.  Either way I think the kayaker should probably have moved a bit sooner.  Watch the video and decide for yourself.

Ever have something like this happen to you?  Share some stories and then tell us, who had the right of way in this situation?
