Most folks today are just to lazy, stupid, or self absorbed to let other folks in traffic know what idiotic thing they are about to try next.

Don't know about where you live, here if you use a turn signal to change lanes, the driver in the lane you want to change to speeds up and blocks you.

Everyone's an asshole like that when they drive.

I just finished a long driving trip through the western states and found that generally speaking the driving was quite good. One major exception was a small pick-up truck who decided at the very last minute to exit lane two between two large vehicles with very little space between in lane one, and having survived that, emergency braking to complete the curve on the exit ramp. Given that there were exit ramps every mile (in SLC) you had to wonder what was so important that it couldn’t have waited one exit in a more normal manner. Oh, and turn signals, a few were used here and there. One guy used one to show that he was pulling into a turnout which was good but would have been better if he had used the right turn signal and not the left one. :)

Not everyone; if I see somebody trying to change lanes or merge into traffic I give them the chance, just lift my foot off the accelerator and let them come in.
Doesn’t cost me anything and it’s just common courtesy.
I just hate it when one big rig is trying to pass another in the hill country; left lane is moving at 70 mph and one truck tries to pass the other
Truck #1 is doing 55 mph and truck #2 tries to pass at 55.02 mph.
Drives me crazy!
