So, we reversed, at least a quarter mile, to the last passing place behind us. My wife was driving. As we started backwards, I said to her; "You watch. I bet they come right up to our bumper and hassle us as we back up". Sure enough, that's exactly what they did!
Yup have met plenty of them, that's when I dream of a Boudicca style car where knives shoot out of my wheels as they pass! I had to reverse quite a long way along the edge of Loch Shin, a windy road, in the dark in a full Galaxy so that a tiny hatch back who had just passed a passing space could have a full width of road to pass with a nice safe couple of feet on either side of him. When I finally got to and stopped in the passing place he wound his window down to tell me I should have stopped there in the first place and waited for him to pass. Needless to say his accent was not local and fortunately I was struck dumb with shock!
