I had this problem this morning and have it all the time.
There was plenty of space, and when I signaled to change lanes 3 cars made sure they weren't gonna let me in. I ended up just cutting the last one off as they sped up, and got an evil glare from the old couple who I had to flip the bird.
As soon as I signal to chane lanes, that entire lane speeds up to fill the gaps and prevent me. Signaling late and catching them off guard seems to be the only way to change lanes these days.
I would love to signal earlier, but the sad reality is that drivers in the city have no courtesy and use your signals against you.
and then right before I get home, this bozo runs the 3-way stop without even slowing down a touch.
This arrogance of people in the city is rubbing off on the driving, and my middle finger is almost perminently outstretched.
