Good evening. I'll retell two similar incidents. I hope for you to evaluate what happened and suggest a more appropriate maneuver/response for the next time. They both happened on a two lane road.

A few days ago, I was in third gear and following a vehicle from a distance of about four car lengths. An Everest(?) behind me overtook me. He wanted to overtake the car in front of me too, but there was an incoming Lancer. Ignoring it, he tried to overtake. The Lancer, to avoid collision, decelerated and veered to the right such that the car was partly out of lane.

One or two days before that, I was in the position of the Lancer. A PUJ on the opposite lane overtook from a long parade of vehicles, fully occupied my lane and made me a participant on a collision course. Instead of doing what the Lancer did, I stepped hard on the brakes without fully stopping and blew my horns hard and long. I wasn't able to look at the right mirror, so I managed just a little nudge to the right. The PUJ squeezed between me and the opposite traffic.

I didn't understand it at the moment but the driver may have asked for a duel. Somebody was shouting. I knew because I had my windows down.
