So he was blocking both directions of travel down every straight - presumably to stop me passing - and quite a danger to any oncoming traffic, though the highway was fairly quiet.

He did this four of five times in a row, returning to our own lane only just before each new bend. Finally he entered a tighter corner where I had enough visibility to blast past on the inside while he was still turning and couldn't easily turn in harder to block me.

Strangest thing that's ever happened to me on the road - like something out of Duel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duel_%281971_film%29

I thought he might still try to run me off on my way past so I've never been happier to have 500 odd horses fighting my corner.
