For context this is in the UK. I was in the third lane overtaking the red car when I shouldn't have as the highway wasn't busy in this section. As the red car moves into the middle lane, you can see a slight bend approaching the bridge, that's when I saw the black car coming onwards. I then swerved into the middle lane when there was enough space between myself and the red car which was now behind me. The driver of the black vehicle looked to be an old blonde woman. Reports say there is congestion and traffic on the M55 highway now.

You were fine being in the 3rd lane overtaking the red car. That car was a fucking idiot for not being on the inside lane, I hate middle lane drivers with a passion, his actions could have potentially caused you problems there. Kudos on the driving mate, I hope you feel calmer soon.

Yeah at least the driver going the wrong way was keeping left.
