All of my road riding is on country roads. I always take primary position before blind bends, road narrowing, blind hills etc,. And 90% of the time the driver will still overtake. The only way I could stop overtaking would be to actually ride in the middle of the road (which I get very close to when I can hear cars coming in other direction that the driver behind me would have no awareness of)
I really fail to understand the thinking/lack of thinking of the drivers. I can only assume they either think nothing is likely to be coming in opposite direction or they just don't care and will just pull in without any thought to where I may be (which they do!)
