A few years ago I got stopped by the driver of an oncoming car to warn me of a fallen tree ahead. I guessed I could get past on my bike. A 4x4 Beemer came up behind and I flagged him down to warn him, but he sneered at me and pressed on. Two minutes later he came back down the hill, avoiding eye contact. I got past the tree Ok.
4 hours later I came back, and now there was another tree at the start of the lane. Mr Beemer driver was still in his car between the two fallen trees and unable to get out at either end and still not making eye contact.
