What is the mentality of these thick as planks car drivers that assume rural lanes are race tracks in their daily mundane boring commute to work.
They must speed at 60 mph plus on tight bends and blind summits.
They see a truck coming and increase their speed, there is no room for two to pass, the Lgv drivers get abuse for stopping or slowing them down .
Going up a hill , any vehicles have priority over any vehicles going downhill.
I have never seen that happen.
Cars think they have priority going downhill.
Absolute Muppets .
Living most of my life in ■■■■■■■■ I know exactly what you mean! These days it seems to have changed from the boy racers to the idiots in white Range Rovers who’s only idea of off road is going up the driveway of their kids private school or the type of farmers with huge estates and still cry poverty (not the little family owned farms).
Be interesting to see a test of Range Rover vs back of a truck - obviously a simulation not real life…well, don’t want to screwup the truck drivers day. Maybe the rat race has moved into the countryside, but afraid it’s unlikely to return to the boy racers anytime soon as no one except Range Rover owners can afford to live in the countryside. Anyway, I feel the need burn some rubber in my flash Range Rover Evoque so tally ho old chap and see you at the golf club.
Yeah, I wish!

they either drive too fast, or freeze where they are, normally on the tightest bit of road
So true 
I get country lanes in Devon and Dorset every single day. I have lost count of the times I go round a bend and meet some ■■■ hurtling the other way. I have to take evasive action all the time, or people would die. I for one don’t want that on my conscience. So my mirrors take the brunt all the time. It’s a good thing my boss is understanding. He said…“Wecome to Devon!”
Car drivers acting like utter helmets, shock and horror.
I had an utter clown pull out on top of me and a car coming the other way today. I was coming over a fairly brutal speed bump, I take them at about 11mph, any more and bits of the truck start falling off. I never flashed the fat ■■■■■■ out as there was a car coming towards me, he had time to cheekily nip out as I was approaching the speed bump but decided to pull out as I was no more than 10ft from the junction and accelerating off of the hump, causing me to brake to avoid clipping him. He then went through a red light at a crossroads because he was a fat old arsecrack who needs punching repeatedly. Naturally, he had a passenger.
Moral of the story is, people cannot drive because they are utter pillocks without a smidgen of common sense, courtesy or decency. With a small minority of exceptions.

Same here trev HCS.
Ever seen that series "Escape to the country’?
I do occasional tractor work for a local farmer, ploughing, crop spraying, etc,etc.
Same altercation with some snotty-nosed ‘‘hoo Ra, ya ’ in her Raid-Range in a lane.
Knowing the area, I backed up into a narrow layby ( one tractor & 12 furrow reversible plough ). Did I get a thank you. Nope.
Got the greatest comeback on her when the gaffa said, ‘’ we’re emptying the slurry tank for spreading on that top field next to that rebuild number’’'. Seems he did’nt like her either…
I blame Top gear

I blame Top gear
I think third is a more appropriate gear. Best response at most speeds.
It’s people who obviously think they are are better than Formula 1 drivers…

Many moons ago in a previous life I was going down a country lane. Had a little Peugeot van. Doing about 35 a range rover classic came round a blind bend at full whack. I ended up in his grill, banging my forehead on the top of the window. He got out shouted at me saw blood on my forehead got back in his car drove up the bank and around my dead Peugeot and left me there. Reported it to the police they weren’t interested. Turns out it was a Lord. Who is always half cut every afternoon. Disgraceful
I had a mate, now sadly deceased but not because of his driving, who always had large BMW’s as his company car. He took me for a ride in one once up some tight country lanes near Reading and we were doing 60+ and I was bricking it big time. Came flying round a corner and encountered a Land Rover coming towards us with barely room to pass each other, I’m putting my brake foot through the floor but my mate just went straight up onto the grass bank without easing off and there were clods of earth flying everywhere! 
We bounced back onto the lane and, seeing that I was as white as a ghost, he told me that the car had airbags everywhere and was built like a tank so no harm could possibly have come to us, he truly believed that he was indestructible in that car. I think nowadays that many think like him, the cars are that safe (according to the advertising blurb) that no harm can come to the driver and occupants and that is why they drive like ■■■■■■
