Hi all, go easy on me as I am a new driver!
This morning as I was driving to work I was driving through narrow country lanes. Over the hedge I could see a car would be approaching shortly so I slowed down, hey presto the guy in oncoming car zooms round corner and stops. The road is only wide enough for one vehicle at a time and I was coming down a winding hill. There was a passing place about 10 feet behind him where he could have reversed to. He made several hand gestures at me to hurry up. Nervous and flustered I put my car into reverse and ended up in a hedge just to the left rear end of my car. Unfortunately there was a wall in the hedge and my bumper came off :(
Guy in car then angrily reversed to the passing place and let me drive through.
Was he being unreasonable? I thought the rule of thumb was to give way to drivers coming down a hill as opposed to coming up one?
