If you're checking your mirrors periodically as you drive (as you should be), when you see another vehicle approaching from behind you SHOULD be courteous, signal and move to the right. Whatever happened to common courtesy? Common sense? Hell, just basic driving skills/rules-of-the-road?
No, I'll grant you guys that another vehicle shouldn't be "tailgating" you, that's obviously unsafe as well. But if you'd moved over in the first place, they wouldn't be there. They'd have passed you and you're both on your merry way.
Please recognize, I understand I might as well be talking to a wall with this stuff and most of you younger guys, but at least when/if this happens to you and turns out badly, admit it or not, you'll have to think... damn, that Clark dude was right I should'a just freakin' moved over.

You can brake check the guy if there's a lot of traffic and you have no room to move over or you're already in the slow lane and the guy is just being a jackass. Otherwise signal and move to the right.
You shouldn't have not let him pass you. It's entirely your fault for pissing the crazy redneck off in the f150. If you just let him pass none of this would have happened. Lesson learned.

A tap on the shoulder? Did you really post this expecting some kind of approval??

OP you are an idiot for cruising in the passing lane. I hate people like you who think the passing lane is for cruising around. Brake checking when some one is behind you instead of letting them pass is a stupid move and will only annoy the guy even more.
What you should have done is get on the slow lane to let the other guy pass but instead you just sped up and boxed him in when he tried to pass.
You got what you deserved. Its not the ford drivers its YOU who is the dumb *** on the road. Sell your Z you dont deserve it.
