Not an abusive motorist (or at least I don't believe they were), but I definitely had a slightly weird pass last week:
I was on a quiet country road (national speed limit), pootling along (not even in primary), no traffic about at all, other than the car coming up behind me doing maybe 40mph. Then from a couple of hundred yards behind me, he or she leaned on the horn for what, 6-8 seconds as they came up behind until they were well past. The pass was generous, they went entirely over into the other lane. I have no idea what that was about. Giving me warning of approach? No idea. Sometimes you want to politely enquire what they're thinking... just to satisfy that itch and understand what the thought process was. It was mildly startling, that's for sure.
