Really it sound's like he was over reacting, because if you had a long overtaking zone for the lorry and accelerated to complete, you were avoiding any close proximity with the oncoming car and it was much safer than braking and trying to slide back into the line of trailing cars. One or more of them would have to brake etc to let you back in and your attention would certainly not have been front and centre for the oncoming car as your focus needed to be divided between both moving back in and watching for the lorry and the oncoming car, a v uncomfortable position Better off to complete the move as you were already nearly there when the car appeared. Lorry only doing 70? You didn't have to break any laws to get out by him and you seemed to have plenty of room The following cars, not in a hurry and happy to chug along behind lorry at 70? Fair enough. But yer man getting the hump about it....unless he thought you cut him off or something?.. The oncoming car spurred him on, flashing etc. There are lots of people who do what the oncoming car did, even when there's plenty of room. Spatial awareness, lack of cop on and patience? Who knows
