Not arguing with you but I sped up once he pulled over to overtake him and he accelerated to match my speed, I wasn't going to go any faster there as was up to the speed limit and there was a fixed camera just up the road.

Am surprised you seem to condone his attempt to crash into me tho?

That's provocative riding mate. You're giving us all a bad name.

I think the car driver was driving in a dangerous manner but you didn't do yourself any favours allowing yourself to be so close to them. I would have either sped off to get some space or slowed down to keep him in front of me where I could keep an eye on him. Doesn't matter how in the right we might be, the car driver will always come off better in a collision.

Looking at the vid yes he was being a pain to you but you were flashing him and sounding your horn. There was no need for that, you were too close also.

You can be in the right as you speed along, but you are just as dead as if you had been in the wrong.

Put it down to experience and move on.

I only tooted my horn, wasn't flashing him or unduly harrassing him imo. But you are right, I should have just cracked on and gotten away from him just wasn't gonna up my speed above the limit with speed cameras on that stretch of road.
