1. Put your right turn signal on before you clear the vehicle in the right lane so those behind know you intend to pull back over shortly.
Turn signal - why don't people use it? It certainly gives those around you an idea of what you plan to do. Thanks!
I have extended towing mirrors with the signals in the mirror, so if they can't see the camper light blinking they can see my truck. But it isn't a matter of a little preventive action, there are just some folks that believe their little econobox can weave in and out with just a brief imposition and then they are off. Those seem to be the same type that pull in front of you while you are slowing down for a red light, causing your braking distance to suddenly shrink to nothing, just so they can get a better spot at the intersection. Besides the insensitivity, they don't seem to get the difference in the stopping and maneuverability of a 3500lb car vs a 6500lb truck towing a 6000lb rv.
