Synopsis
GA pilot reported an NMAC during final approach and landing at EBD non-towered airport requiring the pilot to take evasive action during rollout to avoid a possible collision.
Narrative
Approaching from the north to land EBD. Made customary radio calls at 10 miles; 5 miles and 2 miles; landing lights on. Flew a tight left downwind to Runway 08 to observe windsock (no AWOS) and observed Aircraft Y departing on the taxiway parallel to Runway 08. Called again for downwind entry to Runway 08; but no response from Aircraft Y; which was now behind me in blind spot. Called base turn and final to Runway 08; again no response from Aircraft Y; so by now I assumed he was NORDO and had departed the area. As I was rolling out on the landing; I see Aircraft Y making a very tight turn near the approach to Runway 26 and line up to land Runway 26! By now I was on ground and rolling out; so I expedited rollout to make the taxiway turnoff (there is only one) and avoid potential collision.I calmly spoke with the Aircraft Y pilot afterwards; he confirmed he had a radio and he saw me in the pattern. He was unconcerned about a conflict because he 'assumed I would make the taxiway turnoff'. Note that the single turnoff is approximately 1;500 ft from the Runway 26 threshold; which is ample for a well flown Aircraft Y; but leaves no margin for error when aircraft are head on. He was completely complacent about the situation; which was quite disappointing. Classic dangerous pilot attitude! As for corrective action; I think we are well past the time that it is acceptable for aircraft to flight without a radio. And be required to use it.
