Part 3
If you’re not used to single track, then get the rules embedded in your head before you go on them. Heed the points made about being able to reverse, leave passing place space between you and vehicle in front (no convoys).
Do not allow a queue behind you. Pull over as soon as you can and preferably where there’s good visibility for following vehicles to see coast is clear ahead. And double check your mirrors before moving off – there’s a tendency to think that these roads aren’t busy so people pull out regardless when one vehicle has gone through.
The OP should not assume that people will give way to a car/caravan. Aside from coaches, bin wagons and forestry lorries with trailers, local people still have to go about their work and so do carers and doctors and nurses, plus other emergency workers. Unlike the mainland in more populated areas, not every emergency worker/carer has a marked vehicle.
People whine about local people driving too quickly and being aggressive (and some of us can be) but the moaners on holiday seem to forget that the locals may have a compelling reason for that hurry. I’ll never forget not being with my Mum when she passed away because of one visitor holding me (and a load of others too) up by not pulling into a passing place for seven miles and refusing to travel at more than 30mph.
As to Mull’s roads, we are currently running on much lower volumes on the ferries so roads busy but not overloaded as trog implies.
The Council has been busy resurfacing many of the roads but this has, in places, left large drop-offs so stay on the tarmac.
You will be fine if you just respect the rules. If you want to travel slowly, that’s fine, just let other traffic pass you.
