Must be a wind up, who would post that film if you were the driver?

I'd want to know more about the headlamp flashing - which I'd initially missed. When I looked at the video again the headlight flash and brake lights seem to me to be simultaneous ie, not one could have been a reaction to the other as no one has reflexes that fast. Unless the headlamp flash is only visible to me due to the change in attitude of the Audi ie brake dive changing the angle of the rear of the car and thus the light reflected.Having re-read the thread, I am now more inclined to think that this incident started as some sort of road rage, with the Audi driving erratically and changing lanes, and the OP getting upset, tailing the Audi and flashing his headlights, leading to the Audi brake-testing the OP then deliberately accelerating to stop the OP from getting on the slip road.
To my mind the driver of the Audi's driving fell well below the required and expected standard.If so, then the last actions of the Audi are clearly criminal and a level above minor road rage, perhaps in the same way that someone is pulling a knife in a pub fight. So yes, the person pulling the knife is utterly in the wrong, but at the same time it's very easy to avoid these situations - just keep calm don't get drawn into pub fights, or road rage.
For that reason I will always swerve past a brake tester if possible. They never expect it either.
A hahRe bikers... too many just assume that us drivers always see them. But we often don't. It takes a lot of humility (and experience) for a biker to adapt their driving style to the assumption that they are invisible, but those who do so tend to live longer.
Oh a bit like a MB owner then who, once had a Ford Escort!Another typical occurrence is the 'Born Again Rider'. It's someone in his mid-forties or later, who as a lad rode scooters and various 'pauper bikes' while fantasising of a VFR or Z1000, and now 30 odd years later realises that they can finally afford it financially and have the time to indulge in it. So they go out and buy the latest and most powerful sport bike they can get their hands on, plus all the right gear from boots through suit and gloves to helmet, and off they go.... As a driver, what you see a bright-coloured shiny CBR or GSX, with a rider clad in the latest name in riding suits, and your expectation is that you're dealing with an experienced rider, while in fact what you're facing is the dangerous combination of a biker who thinks he's God on earth but in reality struggles to control a far-too-powerful bike. Rant over.
Up here in the Peak District we have designated 'Biker Crash Zones'. Many come up here for that designated purpose it seems, and many never get to go home again.
What a rubbish comparison.Oh a bit like a MB owner then who, once had a Ford Escort!

What a rubbish comparison.
He has been driving a car for the interim period (30 years & presumably getting increasingly better cars or possibly driving a baseline A class) and not jumped from a moped straight onto a machine on which, he has no recent experience or skills.
BIG difference.
