We like the secondary roads cause that is where all of the 'history' is. You know thw old cars in the yards, countless farm tractors, lawnmowers, amusing mailboxes, mystery crops, mystery roadkill & always an easy stop for potty or stetch leg break.
As a rule I'm not doing cars any overtaking favours especially if they have been tailgating & missed opportunities because they can't see. I will make more than a small effort to let a truck go by, moving over, signalling, even slowing down some for him. Almost always get a 'thankyou' flash. Been caught behind slow moving large farm equipment. Oh well, they never seem to be going far.
What drives me into a raving screaming madman is the driver of the first car in line who, when we get to an uphill with a passing lane, creeps by ever so slowly preventing others behind from getting by as well in the limited space. Thoughtlessness for anyone behind him. That is all there is to it. Sends me ballistic.
The narrow roads don't bother us. You have to see Bermuda roads to understand why. Here in Bermuda we think nothing of opposing vehicles being only inches apart the roads are so narrow. Losing mirrors is not unusual.
