digger,
Great story and write-up of events; good to see you win in the end.
On a road like that (narrow) I would certainly be in the middle of the lane, with a bright rear blinky, sending a definite message that i am not a mailbox-on-a-post to be whizzed past. Riding the fogline seems to send the message "I'm trying to stay out of the way of traffic, and keeping a steady track, and if you can pass me & hold your line, we'll all be fine!"
WP honked his horn and said " I see you, and if you'll just hold your line, my skilled driving will allow me to zip past with no delay for either of us!"
Or maybe I'm just crazy for expecting drivers to behave responsibly...
