What I reckon happened is that he changed down which explains the sudden burst of speed and what with only one hand on the wheel, would also explain the swerve. He wasn't the boy racer type, so I don't think he was being a ******** intentionally. Reason I was so close was that it was a double white line road and I was trying to stay within the law in my own way by not crossing the lines. Of course after he hit me, I crossed the blighters - lucky nothing was coming t'other way!

Are, the lesser dawdler, another common species, looks quite harmless till you get real close then
turns out to be just as deadly as the Dick head loon.

Well fended off anyway
