Braving AIBU so please be kind! I IABU I’m happy to hear it.
We live rurally. I’m a non-driver.
The other day a friend (A) and I were given a lift by friend of a friend (B).
The road was a very winding one. B drive down the middle of the road spanning both lanes and sometimes on the wrong side of the road. When a car came in the opposite direction she returned to her own side of the road.
I wasn’t happy and wanted to get out of the car. A and B found it funny and called me an old woman.
A said afterwards that this is the safe and normal way to drive down this road and that she drives in the same way. She says that taking the straightest route down a winding road is the safest way to drive and that it reduces risk of skidding.
Asked friend C, who says WTAF and that this isn’t a thing, that visibility isn’t good and they might not spot a car coming the opposite way until too late.
So AIBU or is this a normal driving technique? Am I being silly not wanting to accept a lift from A or B again?
