On narrow mountain roads we take the lane, riding in the right tire track. Thus, cars no longer run us off the road, but instead pass us after going to the oncoming lane. That works great when there is clear sight line and no oncoming traffic. Far too often, entitled drivers pass us anywhere, when it is either a blind curve or there is clear oncoming traffic. This happened 4 times this morning just getting out of our small mountain town on y ride with our two eldest lassies. Four times oncoming traffic was forced to stop and/or pull over for selfish drivers.
Whenever I see this situation is about to happen, I try to signal the driver coming up behind me (I always ride at the end of the bike line) by putting my left hand out in the "Caution, slow" signal and if I hear them still passing, I wave them back. This has caused a driver to slow down exactly once out of countless times. Any ideas how to help the situation be smoother/better?
