Why? He / She had given plenty of indication they were a fuckwit.
Everything you did was incorrect.

You don't bring a very busy motorway to a crawl without much better
evidence than that.

Indeed - looking at the evidence, balancing the pillock in front with the
compound effect on the multiple pillocks behind of braking on the motorway
is a master craft. Can't be seriously taught in a book. People unfortunately
do not act like robots.

In this case, a result which means no-one gets hurt is a good result.

Someone will always put instictive driving desicions down though. (Do some
people here work in Health & safety on the sly?)

I never said to bring it to a crawl. I said to give those behind some
clue you might have to brake because of a fuckwit.
