The "it's a bend, must brake" brigade are quite common here too. You'll be pleased to know I do take to lay-bys with the vintage trike to relieve following traffic although I suspect some of it only wants to overtake to show the funny vintage car how good they are. Which has lead to me blowing them into the weeds on roundabouts etc! Many folk have no idea how to do a bend.
I understand perfectly why James Hunt drove an A35 van. You can let your hair down and have a real go, and when you win - it's for real.
