I'm not sure I understand this, I also live in a very rural area, I use a tight twisty B road twice a day to and from work and I've also managed to avoid several accidents through nothing else but caution, I know the areas where people are liable to cut corners, be driving to fast, i know where the pot holes that can throw you into the middle of the road are etc and have avoided a certain collision on several occasions, this however is nothing more that a bit of common sense and a prior knowledge of the road and its conditions.
