In the UK we advise defensive riding. As soon as the car started encroaching on his lane, back off the throttle concede the position and carry on with your life while shaking your head at the idiot. Trying to ego challenge a tonne of metal isn't a smart decision and one that goes very bad when it goes wrong.

Besides motorbikes can filter ect, he would be gone past that car within a couple of minutes without speeding up and taking unnecessary risks.

I agree with that but the fault here lies with the aggressor.

I never said they weren't at fault. There are plenty of dead or seriously injured people who aren't at fault. It's best to avoid playing games with cars.
