Look twice before just pulling on through !

You guys don't read well. Either that or you deliberately interpret what you want to.
So, here it is again;
" For me, I look in my mirrors, turn on my signal, stop looking in the mirrors, count to 6 and move over. I make sure there is plenty of time in that six count for that driver to maintain his position for me to move over. If he chooses to take my turn signal as a challenge, then GAME ON!"

So let's start with OFDPOS;

What... you trump everybody because you turn your turnsignal on , now all hale bow to you !

You cherry picked and mus-interpret that out of the whole process of changing lanes and made it sound like all I do is turn on turn signal and go. What??!!
What about everything else I did before the turn signal? What about after the turn signal? Just forget that ever happens and just reduced it to 'turn on signal and go'.

I can't count the times some idiot right along side or just a half a car length along side in front of us turns on their TS speeds up just enough to clear our bumper cut over in front of us then slams on the brakes and turns and there ain't a single car behind us where as this idiot could have just slowed up and pulled in behind us then did their turn ! Really ,turn your turnsignal on count to 6 and go over now its a challenge if they don't get out of your way. Wow...

I said I check for clearance. There was plenty. I turn on my turn signal, wait 6 seconds, plenty of time for them to see my intent.
You read that as half a car length, a cut-off and slamming on the brakes.
If there's road rage, it's self induced! Ha!


I can't make sense of Bob/Olallawa's reply;

Game on? Talks cheap on the net...It won't be pretty when the moving stops if you try that******on some people.

Are you saying I am just wishing or making this up? No, I'm not. I look, enough room, I signal, enough time to register to the other driver, I change lanes. The other driver thinks it's a challenge? Game ON!! It is what it is. If "some people" see my lane change as "that******on some people", then that is THIER problem. Not mine.

So now you add, you make sure there is enough room to the statement and try to blame us for not reading properly? If you ever try to run me off the road because you think you can just be a bully, I hope your driving skills and gross weight are both better than mine or you will end up way off the travel way.
