Was it close enough to run into your rear end and then become some sort of insurance scam? Are they hoping you'd reverse into them or something to claim something?? Just a thought...
After my thought I googled and found this:
Staged Rear-End Car Accidents: A scam driver will quickly get in front of an innocent car and then slam on their brakes. This causes the innocent driver to rear-end the scam driver. Along with collecting money for vehicle damages, the scam driver will often fake medical injuries to collect even more.
Adding Damage: After an accident, either staged or not, the scam driver will go to another location and cause extensive damage to their vehicle and claim that the damage happened during the original accident.
Fake Helpers: Scam Helpers will wave an innocent driver into traffic, but then crash into the innocent driver. When it comes time to file the claim, the scam driver will deny waving anyone in. Other ways fake helpers try to scam people is by offering to help an innocent driver find a auto repair shop, doctor, or lawyer. In this case, everyone is in on the scam. The body shop charges you enormous rates, the doctor and lawyer also lie to collect more from your insurance.

What sort of car do you drive?
I've heard reports of people in desirable cars being followed home, then having their house broken into just so the thief can take the car keys and steal the car.
When I say desirable, I don't just mean Ferraris and Aston Martins, I mean hot hatches like Golf GTIs or Ford Focus STs. I guess they steal them to order.

Make sure it isn't just a person going in the same direction, circle the block. If they still are following call the police. Its better to be safe then sorry.
Criminals like easy targets. If he he sees signs that you're paying attention (circling the block, calling the police) he'll not going to want to run the increased risk of being caught and let you be.

Just be smart,and if it happens again look at the person inside the car. Take a good description of the car and if it happens still, call the cops

Don't worry yet! If you are in a similar situation again you should make a note of the registration number, and if you see them again on a different day then call the police.

Only if this becomes a recurring thing. If it does, don't panic but be aware, and be cautious. Contact your police station and give them descriptions. Also, contact your local charity for such problems, 'Relate' may be a good one to contact as they can offer specialised advice.

my husband follows the same car every morning for about 30 miles - she then turns to go into Dublin city - he turns for his work, it is one of our neighbours, they could car share if possible but hey ho.
It's just traffic honey - no concern!
