A long straight country lane runs from our village to the next and you can drive quite fast along most of it. At the end it suddenly narrows, passes over a small bridge then round a very tight blind bend... which you must take at around 20mph to be safe because of idiots coming the other way who, presuming there can be nothing coming, take it in the middle of the road. The narrow bridge often does nothing to slow them down when they're travelling from this direction.

Yesterday I was returning from the other village, and as I drove carefully around the bend I hoped, as usual, that there was no idiot racing over the bridge and into the corner... But there she was... at around 40mph around the bend she came... in the middle of the road. I pounded in vain on where I hoped the horn was on this bloody steering wheel, but as usual I couldn't find it because it isn't in the middle where it ought to be.
