They then slam on their brakes to make an exit that is right there, and unless you have super-human reflexes and amazing brakes, you're unlikely to avoid them.

I don't fully understand what you're saying. So, how can someone "cut across my front bumper" without me starting to slow down the instant I see them start to come into my lane?
Still, if they are only a few feet ahead me "slamming on their brakes" it's no reason for me to lose control of my vehicle.
I once had a station wagon do it to me when I was driving a 28' box truck. As I was passing a KMart, he zipped across into my lane and slammed on his brakes so he could enter their parking lot. I downshifted, locked up my brakes and would have hit him HARD if he hadn't executed his turn just in the nick of time. He had maybe two inches to spare. I did $18,000 dollars worth of damage to my cargo and had no police report to show for it. Never again.
