He drives like a dick but I can't deny the effectiveness of simply forcing your car into a gap and making them tap their brakes when they realize you're coming over whether they like it or not.

So glad I don't live in an area like that. Much safer and easier (and chill) driving around here. For the most part anyway.
Did you ever wonder how all those massive highway accidents happen? Just like that.

There is a reason why the lane change blinker is set to be 3 by default and can be at most 5. Anything above 5 and one is doing lane changing wrong, and creating confusion and dangerous conditions in the traffic.

Mine is set to 7. I do get told often how wrong I am doing it. I certainly hope my 2 additional seconds of flashing light doesn't ruin someone's day.

Yo, do you have no respect for the potential epileptic among whom you drive? Inconsiderate sod!

I do not tolerate the photosensitive. From what I gather, they aren't supposed to be driving in the first place.

I could possibly adjust my turn signals back to blink for 3 seconds....but they could also wear their FL-41 glasses just as easily.

Well versed in photosensitivity. We had an employee here who is photosensitive. Between the flashing lights on our equipment and safety lighting on our forklifts, she had a hard time working here. This culminated in my doing research on photosensitivity, researching lenses that blocked the spectrum that she was sensitive to and then we actually bought her glasses. Of course she refused to wear them and complained about them. We typed up a statement and had her sign it that her employment was contingent upon her wearing them.
