Exactly! But the OP did the right thing. By taking the lane, you also leave enough room to veer right when you see a car suddenly coming around the bend, because you know Mr. Impatient is not going to take a head-on collision for your sake.

Nearly every ride home I get passed on a blind curve going over a small bridge - so it is blind both from the curve and the hump of the bridge. As Mr. Impatient is zooming by me I've got my eye on the oncoming lane, and am ready to hit the brakes and swerve for the guardrail if I see car come over the top of the bridge towards us. 'Cause I'm pretty sure that kind of driver is not going to take a head-on collision just for me.
