In a small country lane with a hedge like that I would also be in the same position in the road which would give me a better view around the corner AND they can also see me, which was exactly what looks like happened. My only comment is that the BMW could of been going a little slower.Not on a blind bend I wouldn't. You have no idea what speed some idiot is coming the other way.
As I said look at the vid - even if the BMW was hugging the left there is still not enough room for two cars.The vid is not a case of another yank driving on the wrong side of the road, nor was the BMW purposefully tactically positioning themselves for a better view but they were simply a tosser in a BMW driving too fast for the visibility on that road and they drifted out. By the looks of the lane they probably use that lane everyday for months without ever seeing another car - and got used to that.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
