Why do drivers in the right lane speed up when the guy on the left attempts to merge with his turn indicator?

Question

why dosnt the guy on the right back off instead of claiming the guy on left is cutting him off

Answer 1

Need you really ask, there are so many people out there that have this since of ownership of their lane and an attitude as well.

Answer 2

Just to be a jerk,lol, everyone always wants to be "first" even if they have to play stupid little tricks like that.

Answer 3

I have this problem on the oppiste end. I drive with cruse control on all the time , 90% at least.

Anywhere from going to the grocery store to the highway, wherever.

My problem is when the people getting up on the enterance ramp decide they are going to merge right into the spot where my car is.... making me change lanes or flick them off and slow down....

Answer 4

they do it to be rude.  I overtake, change to their lane and slow way down.

Answer 5

Because they are dumb, and would benefit greatly from a smack on the nose to teach them moderation.

Answer 6

It's a challenge for them to block you. They think they own that spot in front of them, so there ain't no way you're taking it. That's why you should never signal before you move over. Always signal AS you are moving over. You're saying "excuse me", not "may I". I drive 300 miles a week on the freeway, and I never "ask permission" with my turn signals. I rely on timing and surprise to change lanes. If you give someone a chance to block you, they will. As for me, I always let people in if they signal.
