My job requires me driving an ambulance and 9 times out of 10, if I signal to get over, the car in the adjacent lane will speed up to pass me regardless of how much space I have to change lanes. I tested out a theory that I would be more successful changing lanes without using my turn signal and as expected, I can get over almost every single time without an issue. Oh how irritating it can be...

Nobody, including the driver at ten over, twenty over, thirty over, 80 over, has the right to determine the minimum speed. Every driver should exit the left lane BEFORE another driver has caught up to them. Ego says: "I'm already going x over the limit. If you want to pass me, you are a reckless idiot and can do it in the right." Ego is me paraphrasing a radio host in the Toronto area. |

Sad that such people exist. And that societal norms forbid tarring and feathering them.... |

It happened in West Virginia State Police jurisdiction... And the driver had Ohio plates... Those facts explain why nothing was done about it and why it happened in the first place.

Maybe it's just the Californian in me, but I personally don't give a shit whether or not people use signals. They can even enter my lane 3 inches off my bumper, just as long as I don't have to slam on the brakes or divert my current trajectory then I am unconcerned... Personally I always signal, although from time to time I have been guilty of hitting the signal as I start to change lanes...
...So maybe according to you guys I am that guy

I have no doubt in my mind that I have certainly been "that guy" many times and probably never even realized it.

Haha I'm sure everybody slips up with the turn signals... But it happens in Toronto so much that I'm sure it's a habit for some... And if anything, I suspect most people here are driving at least 10 above
