That "Thing" on the left of the steering wheel is there for this and it isn't Hard!
Hey , can you ticket that? I am sure you can!

Where I come from (Connecticut)... they don't use the turn signal. They just point at you with one finger as they cut you off.

When they look in their rear view mirror and all they can see is the BIG BLUEoval on the F-350 grille overcrowding their rear view mirror , blinker or not, they’ll squirm out of the way.

Prius's ARE a pet peeve

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.

They've passed a law here wherein you have to signal 100 feet before changing lanes. Of course, with oil in the tank, so to speak, I haven't seen much enforcement.

Also, the non-signaling drivers seem to have drifted in from the north.
