Surprised at a woman who looked to be in her mid 70's coming out with a mouthful. Call me old fashioned but it's not what i expect from a lady......which she obviously wasn't.
I'll call you sexist and ageist as well as old-fashioned! Both my parents were splendidly foul-mouthed till their last days at the age of 76. They were both very well-spoken too (especially Pa) and Ma used to delight in shocking pompous old farts with a plummy-voiced f-word, just to see the astonished look on their faces.

Well-spoken old people swearing is one of the purest forms of pleasure known to man.
I love the way you included a picture of the road, Bulletguy. But you should have photoshopped it to include an old dear yelling out the window of a car, just to enable us all to picture the scene a little better.
Most drivers DO display a modicum of courtesy on the road, myself included, but if some ignoramus chooses to drive at me on the wrong side of the road, they'd also receive short shrift from me.
I think it rather depends on the circumstances. If I was already in or clearly almost in the constricted area of road, I'd expect the person coming the other way to hang back behind the obstruction on their side of the road. If they were already in the constricted zone having to straddle the centreline, *before* I had reached the constricted stretch, I would consider it good drivership to pause, allowing the other user to exit the constricted section. If there were a number of vehicles in succession coming the other way, I'd expect the drivers to ascertain "fair arbitration" and to hang back to allow a balanced throughput on the contraflow accordingly.

Hahaha yes yes I love it, nothing better than hearing my elderly father with his very RP accent, drop the f word, my brother and I would dissolve into childish giggles.
Just returning back from taking my van in to a Garage and driving along this road here......i came up against "pensioner road rage". Not a bloke though....an elderly woman who looked to be in her mid 70's!
The left of the road often has parked vehicles due to a few shops there. Usually most oncoming drivers are polite, courteous and give way...otherwise you can find yourself sitting there forever.
I spotted a reasonable 'break' and went for it but the oncoming car wasn't giving way. She put her window down and screeched at me, "learn yer bloody highway code...i've got the right of way...not you!"
I told her to learn some manners and shift her arse.
Sorry but it does sound as though you were in the wrong. She didn't have to let you out and she chose not to so you had no right to come out when you did.

Had i been in my van you would have seen and heard everything because that's fitted with a dash cam. :cool:;-)
No, you are confusing facts and opinion. The facts are that you drove on the wrong side of the road and it was her right of way. Your opinion is that she should have forgone her right of way.
You just want people to agree with your opinion.
Although the incident was so trivial, it's hardly surprising there is little response from FMs.

PMSL at that!! Actually that's a good portrayal of how you have to drive that road sometimes......use the pavement!
