notzofast please reread my original post. My response has been to prepare to avoid a collision (slowing, moving to the right if safe, or checking the ditch for a soft landing ). I am looking for a better way to deal with it.

Lately I have had a number of these vehicles try coming back into the lane beside me when they realise the on coming lane has a vehicle coming around the corner - the worst was a woman who passed on an inside corner nearly did a head on with a school bus neither of us could see till we were in the corner.

The characters were to show the futility of reacting with rage.

My gripe comes from a rash of recent incidents where I have been passed (occasionally honked at) while taking the road when travelling at 45 to 60 kph. Most of the time in areas of corners or double lines. The last truck passed when I was travelling 7 kph over the PSL. It is as if they "need to pass" the bicycle.
