Seems like a very common thing that ICE cars, junk cars or expensive cars, always want to cut you off even if its going out of their way to do it. I thought signaling was supposed to let other cars you need to change lanes and for other cars to yield, but in the real world an unreasonable person will think its time to speed up and cut you off after they been at a cruising speed the entire time. Some will do something like cut you off, but start cruising speed next to your car when they know you can't enter in front of the due to the arrangement of the cars (like one in front of you, another in front of them).
In the Riverside County area, the truck drivers they get very personal and angry if they think you cut them off. Because they think making you miss your exit is more important than their ego getting hurt. One of them honked very loud and gave me the finger, made sure I saw him.
Today some guy in an newish Audi SUV also wanted to cut me off. And he was way behind, not even considered next to me, but he was forcing me to wait like 5-10 seconds for him to cut me off. I pretended I was going into the other lane and it was enough to get the Audi SUV to chicken out and swerve into the other lane. Guy was so mad, he stared at me shocked I didn't back off and let him cut me off.
Most the time, if I see a car trying to accelerate from way back behind me, it's easy to just beat them and speed up too so you just make them waste their gas. Gas cars lag, and most these people are driving commuter ICE cars that take forever to get up to accelerate enough to cut someone off. I really don't understand why some drivers are so against another car going in front of them if they were already cruising at a normal speed, and now suddenly need to floor it then cruise again. I usually let cars go in front of me and I have no need to not allow another car to change lanes in front of me.
Sometimes its fun messing with some these ICE cars. Just show your turn signal and see them accelerate to cut you off and accelerate at the same time as them. Most the time, if its a normal car, the Tesla will usually be faster or match the other car's speed. Then don't change lanes and make them realize they wasted their gas and effort trying to cut you off.
I'm hoping more cars become auto pilot. I feel robot cars won't have the need to cut each other off, and will do what makes sense.
