Maybe not a rock, but if the road is that narrow and you're going the wrong way - what about the truck that comes careening around the bend? Head-on? That's the huge danger of riding against traffic. There's so much less time for both the rider and a driver to see each other, a little more calculation needed in very short span of time, and what if they CAN'T safely give you room right at that time? At least with the traffic a driver can slow down until it's clear to pass.
