Let's just rewimd a little here...
So you are still travelling down the slip road and your primary thought is already to pull across in to the third lane ?
No wonder you pissed him off ! You should be looking to merge in to lane 1 at that stage, then lane 2 perhaps shortly after. If im passing through a junction and I see somebody come down a slip road and immediately across three lanes within the first 200 yards, I'd consider that reckless impatient driving on the basis that driver considers everyone else less important than themselves and lanes 1 & 2 are just for 'other' drivers.
Perhsps he didnt speed up, but that you were not at that stage in the correct position to judge bis speed accurately, purely in your offisde mirror ????
