Travelling along the M876 today at an indicated 73-74mph. The road was very quiet (due to an accident on the M80 earlier where a loaded cattle float overturned at Castlecary - that caused some traffic chaos!) and I pulled out into lane 2 to overtake a Peugeot who was doing maybe 60-65 mph. I passed safely and pulled gradually into lane 1.

A few moments later said Peugeot caught up with me and the male driver started flashing his headlights. I thought he was trying to warn me of something so looked about for trafpol or speed cameras. Nothing to be seen and I wasn't speeding anyway. He kept flashing so I decided to pull into the hard shoulder to check the car. As I started to move over he speeded up and took off at speed.

I was a bit baffled so pulled back onto the road and continued. Mr Peugeot was disappearing rapidly into the distance, but I caught up with him (a few cars back) when he hit traffic on the Clackmannanshire Bridge. He was tailgating the car in front, and pulled out and passed it as soon as the road widened to 2 lanes.

I saw him in the distance, heading into Alloa, overtaking at any opportunity.

What on earth could have been going on?

Or something.
Yes, the OP had the bare cheek to be going faster than him!
In a 1.7 diesel Astra... he must have felt inferior!
