i gave up my career in mind reading when i realised i couldn't read minds. in the op's case i have no idea why that car was doing what it was doing. was it getting off-line to let him by? then where was the point-by? perhaps he was having a stroke? obviously he was having some kind of issue and driving erratically. so - good idea to introduce more variables? increase the risk? pass him unknowingly?
the fact that there was no point-by is a good indication of a new driver lacking situational awareness. again - good idea to sneak up beside him in a corner?
ps, he didn't stop, he slowed down. so slow down. nobody is stopping in the middle of the track here (unlike the examples i posted). if there was time for the op to apologize then there was time to get on the brakes. sorry no warm fuzzies from me; i agree with the instructor.
