NSL on a piece of single track!!!?
That's normal.
Amazed someone needed to say this on a motoring forum. Its always better to leave a road at NSL so people drive to conditions rather than applying a speed limit where they use it as a target to drive in all conditions. Somewhere in the middle is useful speed limit setting
What's unusual there is that theyve applied a speed limit to first bit. What was that supposed to solve?
As far as I'm aware in this instance the 30 limit sigh is on the parish boundary.

Only just watched the og video and the behaviour on it is disgraceful.

Old man should be banned for life.

Some of the men in the video are f'ing bullies, and should be utterly ashamed of their behaviour towards the woman, that was harassment plain and simple.

If this had been a middle aged bloke in the convertible and an old woman in the other car - i'm sure the men would have been hailed heroes and there would have been calls to ban the middle aged bloke for life.

A section of the A887 in the Highlands is a NSL, single track, A class road. It's the only single track A class road now left, although they were at one time not uncommon (the OS had a special symbol to indicate them on 1" maps).
Red and white dashes?

If this had been a middle aged angry skinhead in the convertible, no one would be leaning all over the car, swearing and shouting at him would they?

The old boy in the tunnel should be allowed on the road, that attempt at reversing when he went straight over to the left was shocking!

The woman in the convertible was terrified from all the bullying towards her, no one talked to her in a calm and polite manner did they? It varied from shouting and swearing, to blaming her for anything happening to kids/teenagers walking home from school!

Awful behaviour.

I thought they did?
But as soon as she refused to back up a bit because she thought she had right of way when she didnt, no wonder tempers were getting frayed

It is bullying towards the woman, pure and simple. She looks terrified.

Opportunity to bully taken by bullies, if you can't treat everyone like that (Angry skinhead type included), then don't treat anyone like that.

Quickest solution would be to offer to reverse the Merc for the old man.

The old man was scared and the women acted daft.I would have gone in the old man's car and backed it up for him if he would have let me.

Why do people act like morons in a situation like this? The women wasn't bullied she is used to getting her own way,you don't have to be a doctor to see that.

Thats what happened in the end.
If youre going to point the finger at anyone being a bully its the driver of the convertible. After trying to get her to come down from the highest horse this side of armageddon they decided it was easier to help the guy reverse his car the longer distance

She'd not be being 'bullied' if she'd not sat that like a for 45 minutes. She deserved a hoof up the clacker.

This. The woman knows no one is going to touch her and is determined to not to back down because she is an arrogant .

These white knights who think all women are precious little flowers who can do no wrong make me laugh.

"Just wow" at you thinking the woman is being 'bullied' because people asking her to move - when she's deliberately blocking the road for no good reason.

Surely if she felt bullied or threatened she'd have put her roof and windows up,rather than sit there with them down for 40 minutes.
Of course, she could have just reversed and let people get on with their lives .
