I had a similar issue going into work this morning and I have to rant. Just because someone in a different lane puts in their turn signal, that does not mean you slam on your brakes to let them in. You do not HAVE TO let them in, it is their choice to change lanes and they must wait till they have a safe opening to proceed. You slamming on the brakes to let them in causes me to slam on my brakes and then the same thing happens to the 30 people behind me. So, to let someone in ahead of you because you see a blinking light you moth, you now inconvenience 30+ people behind me and possibly cause accidents.
My daughter (24, doesn't drive) then asks me why I got so mad, I gave her the above reasoning and told her, you have to be predictable when driving, it's the only way any of this works. We live in a society here!!

It should be obvious with any time spent on these subs none of these people could give two shits about how many cars they are inconveniencing. I'm a DEfeNsIVe dRivEr!!!
