Having done milk tankers…I have experience of the time you have to wait for an awkward bastid to reverse.
I have never reversed, nor will I do so…Roll a ■■■, get out and smoke it, have a chat with the car driver, sometimes even talk to trees, that really freaks them out…That and the imaginary voices in your own head
Good one

will have to try talking to trees next time im on a country lane down south with a 360 excavator on with an overhand and some little scrot thinks i can reverse up the road ! wouldnt mind but the front of the wagon was lit up with every flashing light known to man so its not like he didnt see me ? 
I love it when the other driver says…“You shouldn’t be on this road”.
I just sit there tapping the tax disc, until they get bored and squeeze by.
Sharrow Bay and Howtown on the edge of Ullswater is a good one. Well over an hour for an 8 mile round trip.
The local postie goes bananas it if I’m on that road before 10am. 
As mentioned in above posts,they will drive past a passing space,and look up at the cab and stare in confusion,with a look on their face of “well ,i have done my bit,and not moving,now,what are are you doing just sat there and not getting out of my way to drop the litte rug rats off at the private school,a mile away from where i live.”.
The big lorry is always to blame,next time,i will climb in the bunk,and pull the curtains over,sorry mate,got to take a 45.
I have tried the Arla tankers in the Devon lanes,if you go past the farm entrance,it is a crane job to get out of the village,once loaded at the farm,it takes several attempts to get up their “ski slope”,in the winter the clutches get burnt out.

best one was a cyclist who had a very colourfull language about me the lane & the size of the truck, so i just sat there while he half hopped, half cycled down the side of the lorry in cycle shorts , stinging himself silly on the nettles as he went
LMFAO! 
I bet the cyclist was a middle aged man on a £3500 racing bike from Halfords,while he was wearing pvc plastic budgie smugglers lycra,thinking he was in the tour de France.Never see any fit lady bikers,just fat blokes.
This is why I prefer driving on these sort of roads, so much fun to be had
I know I must irritate a lot of people but whenever I am going round a blind corner on a country road I beep my horn. My dash camera records the sound so if I ever was hit by a 50mph landrover I have the evidence that I let him know I was there.

What amuses me is when they just keep coming at you, drive straight past a wide bit where you could squeeze through, then stop and stare at you. Where do they think you’re going to go?? Even funnier is the look of terror on their face when they realise that they are the one nearest to a wide bit and therefore THEY have to reverse. Often it is quicker to reverse half a mile yourself than to wait for some emmet not used to our Cornish goat tracks of lanes to get their posh 4x4 out of the way. Rant over!
Very true
and when the car keeps going past the wide bit and comes to a halt with fist shaking at you as they expect you to reverse you then point through the screen and they soon get the message and if they dont out comes the paper till they move…
got a dash cam as well as have been hit in the past by someone who came flying round a corner and said afterwards “sorry mate didnt see you coming the other way” like you cant see a sodding big yellow van(at the time i worked for ats) 
When I saw this thread I thought “yes”, this needs mentioning!
My job requires me to go to alot of rural locations and I see this everytime Im on a country lane, a car comes round the corner far too fast and usually in the middle of the road. I have NO idea why they think that its perfectly okay and that there wont be a vehicle coming the other direction, perish the thought. I also find alot of car drivers drive their cars as if they were driving an artic, watch how far they keep away from the side of the road. They think their driving something that is about twice as wide as it really is. Also, I come across alot of narrow bridges, esp on a corner where the road will narrow. Alot of cars approach these bridges way too fast, if something was coming the other direction they`d never be able to stop. Often I see tyre marks in the road where ppl have had to brake really hard
we had a local action commitee on to the police about speeding drivers through their little village , so plod set the radar up for them . the first speeder they clocked was chairman of the action commitee , oh dear
I was on tipper work out of a quarry ,the residents were always moaning about trucks and truckers. The quarry was there long before they built the houses,if they didnt like lorries they could have settled elsewhere.

Its the same with country villages,some of them buy a house and think they have bought the village.A good snowfall usually gets rid of them.The estate agents boards go up in the spring .

I know a lovely little pub in a lovely little village, been there hundreds of years but some ■■■■■ moved in next door and complained conatantly about the noise now not allowed outside after 9pm. Don’t go there any more because of that. Its a shame those idiots will run it out of business
Ive got to drive a coach around country lanes on school runs and all the points people have brought up are 110% valid!!!
And other drivers wonder why I dont polish the body work, they moan like hell when they have to do my run because their shiny mirror like polished bodywork gets scratched
On Inside Gatwick last night was a couple who moved to their “dream cottage” 10 years ago,in the village of Hever,right under Gatwick flightpath.He has spent the last 10years complaining ,every day,about aircraft noise!!!At leastbit gives him a purpose in an otherwise pointless retirement!!!
