Driving on dirt roads

They cannot give out details of the owner, address etc.
Anyone can look up whether the rego is current, with most states no longer having labels it's the only way.

Interesting to see various perspectives on this topic.
It's not that hard to ease of when a vehicle approches to reduce stones being flicked by me and speed of impact from anything headed my way, respect for others is how I see it.
What's your thoughts on overtaking as below?

I don't understand being in a hurry only to stop early for camp.

I have always bad the opinion of if someone comes up behind me, they must be travelling quicker than me, so I have always just eased up, pull over and let them go.
I saves the agro in the fact they normally don't need to fly past throwing up rocks, and they are normally appreciative of the fact.

The but is I never seam to get the same response from other drivers that I come up behind, in fact I have even had some pull out from stopped so they can be in front and then hold me up.

Or they pass you then slow down 

Had someone do that to us a little while back. Coming home on Mt Lindsay Hwy near Beaudesert, sitting on about 95 in 100 zone, with the CT on the back. Saw another fourby coming up behind much faster than us, so slowed right down & pulled over to let them past. They then slowed down as well & paced us. I stopped & waved them through but they also stopped for a few seconds then drove off 

Pulled back out & accelerated only to have to immediately slow down as they had only got up to 75 (still in a 100 zone) & stayed at 75 for the next 5k or so before pulling off at a house for sale.

They were lost? They thought we were the real-estate agents (with a CT on the back!)?

You sometimes just have to wonder - WTF

Yep, I had that happen just recently. Banging along at 90 on a big wide outback dirt road to see a bloke in the distance appear to run to his door, jump in and take off just so he could sit on 70. I don't know for sure that he saw me coming so made every effort to get out in front but that's what it looked like to me.

I waited about 5 min sitting way to the right out of his dust, tried a few times to get him on the radio then finally just blew past. Even when it was obvious that I was coming around he still made no effort to pull to the left and kept his eyes glued straight ahead as we slid past.

Probably spend the next three days telling anyone that would listen about the impatient pig in the cruiser with the camper trailer that showered him with rocks. I wonder if he will send me a bill for his windscreen

Have you every been passed by some knumbskull , coming out of your dust at almost the crest of a hill   . That's a thrill , or on a sweeping blind bend they come out of your dust & rock shower  '
l have had this happen on our recent Cape trip , that gets the senses cleared & alert .
lf you are driving on dirt roads ( though some couldn't really be called that ) & you experience dust , rocks , corrugations or any other nonpleasing conditions . Suck it up or go home & watch the would on Foxtel . l always say " lf you cant afford to cover the damage Don't be there " The joys of Off Road Touring
