I agree. These kids think they can run all over the place. When I say "change lanes on my bumper", I really mean they do a lane change that is unsafe and clearly reckless. Signalling one blink while you're cutting someone off is NOT signalling. Primetime, why do I get the feeling that you're one of those who weaves around in traffic?

I'll be rolling along steady at 120km/h, cruise control, in the left lane, and then see some disgusting riced-out Honda weave all over the right 3 lanes. I know they're probably gonna come in (I'm a teen too, I know what path they're gonna take.) and I'm like "nuh uh, buddy" and close up the gap. But they shove themselves in anyway. I hit the brakes, flick the highbeams and ride the horn.

Regardless of how much traffic there is on the freeway, I will NOT attempt a lane change if I cannot see the front of the car in the other lane in my inside rearview mirror. That was the rule taught during driving school, that is the safe distance, and that is what I do. I signal three blinks if it's an easy lane change (plenty of room), and I may signal longer if need be to let the driver know I am coming in. Almost nobody does it, but I don't care.

I won't chase after people or yell out the window; I'm too dignified to do that. On the flip side, I do mentally thank people who know how to drive property. Like when people stay on the right and pass on the left. Or when people let me in. I do my part to keep the roads a good place to drive by following certain rules. If everyone took responsibility for their own driving, driving would be infinately less stressful.
