Todays healdlines, white van driver drives like twat...
Think about your behaviour prior to the incident. YOU could have prevented this situation ocurring by allowing faster following traffic to overtake.
So at the point where he was tailgating you. If someone is tailgating you on the motorway, you should almost certainly be at least one more lane to the left.
Instead you got red mist about being overtaken by a van and kept filtering away from him, then letting him catch up with you. I bet he was absolutely raging by the time he finally managed to get past you.
Another thing to consider.. If he's in a van and is willfully speeding through a camera controlled average speed zone, what do you think the chances of the van being registered in his name are? ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

For those playing along at home: [You should] "not allow yourself to become agitated or involved if someone is behaving badly on the road. This will only make the situation worse. Pull over, calm down and, when you feel relaxed, continue your journey".
I can't see any specific advice about slowing down while being tailgated, mind. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I was surprised too, as it's the received wisdom, but I can't find it.
My theory test had plenty of questions that weren't from the Highway Code - it doesn't mention the environmental benefits of trams, for one thing. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
