WHY?
because it shows that the road is so narrow that vehicles are in effect
running along tracks, and if you get some fool racing from the other
direction there will be no place for you to move out of his/her way.
I was brought up in Sussex lanes (Yes we did have a house, but I spent
almost all My time outdoors, and had my first few years of driving
around the lanes [ not the ones in Brighton] and am well used to narrow
roads)
It's the fools who think they can treat every road as a race track.

I've had similar and in that case it was the Company not telling the
driver despite me sending maps with routes marked etc and warning of
potential problems.

Of course, the driver might have been influenced by his GP machine...

A great many, mostly with two wheels in total :-)

Imust have rephrased that badly: How many vehicles these days have a
single wheel in the back or front only?

I don't get worried, because I learnt to drive in southern Wiltshire,
and often visited Cornwall, but the idiots around here don't know
how to drive in rural areas.

Oh well, I live in the South Norfolk Triangle and have lived in very
rural Inverness-shire and on the Isle of Lewis, so I know TAAAW.

You misunderstand - Why - quote I get worried when I see grass growing

On the three roads between Whitby Pickering and Scarborough. There's
fatal head on crash most weeks in the summer. We've had several near
misses.

I was looking at a gap in the parapet of the bridge in Hawick back in
the '60s and a (presumably) local man said WTTE that "We have six fatal
accidents here this year. Luckily, no-one has been killed."

Wouldn't that be a Mono cycle or a Unicycle?
