Good move on your part. You'll always lose if you stir it up with some nutcase in a car. I haven't had but a couple cases of this in many years of commuting but each time I just ignore them.
Let me guess ... the driver kept an eye on you in the rear view mirror as you got closer? I always get a kick out of how people underestimate how quickly a bike can gain on them once they pass.
