When I moved here, it took a while to break me of the habit of using my turn signals. You want to quickly change lanes before the other drivers can cut you off. If you give any advance indication that you are going to change lanes, you will have a helluva time of doing so.

Once they are on to you, then it become really tricky. The best strategy I've found is to floor it, then slam on the brakes and slip in behind them as they zoom past. (provided the next car back isn't in collusion it will usually open a slot) Yesterday I made the mistake of using the turn signal (old habits die hard) and I ended up having to floor it, slam on the brakes, and then floor it again.
