Didn't you know that the "turn signal" is a "hurry up and pass me before
I change lanes signal?" :)  In my experience, the majority of the time
that drivers signal on the freeway they encounter lead-foot-don't-cut
-in-front-of-me behavior.  Don't get me wrong.  I appreciate the proper use
of the turn signal.  It's just that this is just as annoying to me.  The other
thing that bugs me on the freeway or on any street in the city limits is
those driving 15-20MPH over the limit.  As MG stated before, they are
just asking for trouble.  Even if they are a good, safe driver, they are
assuming a lot that other drivers and pedestrians will always be willing
and able to get out of their way.  City intersections, entrance, and exit
ramps are simply too dangerous given their inherent nature of merging
and/or cross traffic.

My 2¢...
