It appears that the driver was the instigator by passing way too close on an empty road.

The driver's excessive responses to a hand gesture backs that impression (IMO).

The way the driver reacted to a minor dumb thing is a strong indication that he's a bad/incompetent driver.

As far as I can tell, the road was clear and straight. It appears that it would have been reasonable and safe to move over (just like most other people would have done).
