Just pull over for a single second... Would it REALLY have hurt you to stop your training routine for a single second? Thats really all it takes for a car to safely pass you. You can avoid confrontations by having some common sense in situations like these...

Sometimes one must take the lane to be safe. And since the OP didn't give many details about the road and traffic conditions, it's not right to assume that he could just pull over and that would make everything better.

And supposing there was another car behind the car in the OP. Pull over for that one too? And the one behind that? And the one behind that?
